Ep. 98 AI Relationships Are the New Drug

TW: Suicide, Self-harm, Mental Illness

AI technology is become more normal in all areas of life, including our personal relationships. Some people are now using AI agents as substitutes for humans in their romantic relationships, and we see a future where AI becomes the teacher, and maybe the proxy, for how people fall in love. Should the church be ok with that? Is this the way lonely people can 'manage' their singleness? In this episode, Steven and Megan explore this controversial topic and discuss why it's so important for our relationships to remain human, against all odds.
