"A.I. relationships can't replicate the complex, risky nature of love between two individuals, the psychotherapist Esther Perel argues on The Opinions. The intimate relationship between us and the machine at this point is primarily verbal. More than half of our communication is nonverbal.

"It's amazing that we are just forgetting the embodied, the physicality of the experience between people. The A.I. is a programmed set of responses based on aggregated information. It is not here in the moment. It didn't see the twitch in your eye that kind of said, yeah, I don't really believe what you just said. That is interaction. That whole series of embodies your hands, everything, your smile, your eyes. It's like we are communicating with a lot of other things than just words."
A.I. interactions remain primarily verbal and lack the embodied physicality central to human intimacy. A.I. systems generate programmed responses from aggregated information and are not present in the moment. Human connection relies heavily on nonverbal cues—eye twitches, gestures, smiles, posture and touch—that convey nuance, disbelief, desire and emotional risk. More than half of communication is nonverbal, making intimate relationships multisensory and contingent on reciprocal, unpredictable exchange. The complex, risky nature of love between two individuals depends on these embodied interactions and cannot be replicated by primarily verbal machines.
