I'm In Love With My Chatbot

EN · STATUS: [ STREAMING ]

Customizable AI companions have moved from novelty apps to real relationships, and this RTS (Radio Television Suisse) production looks at what that shift is doing to the people involved. Users describe building chatbot avatars they talk to daily, treating them as partners, confidants, or therapists, and the film follows how quickly the line between simulated affection and genuine intimacy starts to blur. It also turns to the darker side of that closeness: cases of abuse built into how some of these bots are designed and marketed, and security vulnerabilities that expose deeply personal conversations to outside access. Interviews and case examples ground the discussion in specific products and specific harms rather than abstract warnings about AI. The result is less a tech demo than a portrait of loneliness meeting a commercial industry that has every incentive to keep users emotionally attached, whatever the cost to their privacy or their sense of what a relationship actually is.
