Hey, it's Mark here, and this weekend I wanted to share another FT podcast with you.
It's about how AI is playing an emotional role in people's lives,
and I can tell you this season has some incredibly gripping stories,
like how an 86-year-old was prescribed an AI friend after his wife died,
or how a woman left her husband after ChatGPT suggested her relationship was abusive.
The series charts how users strike up deep emotional connections with AI and how companies have responded when questions are raised about the safety of those relationships.
If you like this episode,
you can find the rest of the season on the FT Tectonic feed wherever you get your podcasts.
This episode contains strong language and themes of an adult nature.
