"'I'd used ChatGPT for job searching but had heard someone else use it [for dating advice],' says Rachel, who does not want her real name used, and lives in Sheffield. 'I was feeling quite distressed and wanted guidance, and didn't want friends involved.' Before the phone call, she turned to ChatGPT for help. 'I asked, how do I deal with this conversation but not be on the defensive.'"
"Rachel is not alone in turning to AI for advice in dealing with relationships. According to research by the online dating firm Match, almost half of Generation Z Americans (those born between 1997 and 2012) said they have used LLMs like ChatGPT for dating advice, that's more than any other generation. Which generation are you? People are turning to AI to help craft breakup messages, to dissect conversations they're having with people they're dating, and to resolve problems in relationships."
"Dr Lalitaa Suglani, psychologist and relationship expert, says AI can be a useful tool, especially for people who feel overwhelmed or unsure when it comes to communication in relationships. It may help them to craft a text, process a confusing message or source a second opinion, which can offer a moment of pause instead of being reactive, she say"
