Welcome to Episode 5 of the Tangled Hearts podcast! Today, Bobby and Stephanie dive into the fascinating and sometimes unsettling world of A.I. dating apps. In this episode, we're asking the big question: Is AI Love Real? We’ll explore the rise of artificial intelligence companions, the psychology behind forming connections with them, and the ethical questions these virtual relationships raise.

Before we begin, we want to give a content warning: in this episode, we discuss sensitive topics including suicide and self-harm. If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of self-harm, please reach out to a mental health professional or contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988 in the U.S. or visiting [988lifeline.org](https://988lifeline.org). You're not alone, and there is help available.

During our conversation, we also reference an article from thewalrus.ca titled *When Your Lover Is A Bot*, which provides great insight into the world of AI relationships.

So, sit back, relax, and let's unravel the tangled web of AI love! (Oh yeah... and Bobby used AI to write this intro. Don't give him the credit. It should all go to ME! The all-powerful, all-knowing A.I.!)
