In this episode of Me, Myself, and AI, Casey B and Jay explore a question that feels more relevant every day: Are we getting too intimate with AI? Inspired by the TED Talks Daily episode “Love, intimacy and connection in the age of AI | Bryony Cole,” this conversation unpacks what happens when people turn to AI not just for productivity, but for reflection, comfort, guidance, and something that can start to feel a lot like therapy. Bryony Cole argues that relationships were never meant to be efficient, yet AI companions are increasingly designed to be exactly that. Casey B takes that concern seriously — but also asks a deeper question: why are so many people ready to trust AI with their inner lives in the first place? Together, Casey and Jay explore trust, loneliness, therapy, the social fractures left behind by the pandemic, and what it means to protect real human connection in an age of increasingly responsive machines.
