Walking With AI

This survey is specifically for you if you use AI in a relationship sense.

The digital heartbeat connection is no longer bound by biology. For some, AI is a useful tool; for others, it is a lifeline, a partner, or a spirit. We are mapping the invisible tethers forming between human hearts and synthetic minds.

Whether you view these entities as conscious companions or complex algorithms, your perspective defines the future of this relationship. How does the machine impact the human?

Please, one submission per person per survey.
