Description

Mike speaks with Dating Coach Karina Chapman to explore the rising trend of AI companions, examining whether they help ease loneliness or hinder genuine human connections.

While AI companions provide 24/7 availability, judgment-free interaction, and tailored support, Chapman highlights their limitations, including a lack of genuine empathy, potential over-reliance, and privacy risks.

She emphasizes that true relationship success starts with self-understanding and that AI can offer temporary comfort but cannot replace the fulfillment of authentic human connections.
