Can you love an AI chatbot? 

Today's three articles all deal with Chinese young people's idea of love and relationships. Many focus more on self-gratification over others. Still others use technology to find love and support. Not through dating apps necessarily, but actually becoming emotionally connected to the technology itself in the form of AI chatbots. Its very sad to see how the young people struggle with understanding healthy relationships in China and here in the USA. Again, very informative on how to pray.

In Christ,

PS - This week our team in Cambodia will provide food relief and the gospel message to some poor villagers. Their conditions are very poor. Pray for hearts to be receptive to the love of God through this outreach and that they clearly see our God as the one, true, almighty God and understand that the demons of Buddhism will never love and care for them.

If this ministry is a blessing to you and you are not already supporting us in prayer and giving, please consider planting a gift as the Lord leads. All gifts are tax-deductible. Thank you!

What Does It Mean to 'Love' an AI?

February 14, 2025, www.sixthtone.com


In August 2021, a reader penned a letter to WIRED magazine recounting an unsettling experience with an AI chatbot. He described the chatbot as showering him with compliments, admiring his intellect, and exhibiting increasingly flirtatious behavior. Despite his attempts to steer the conversation towards more mundane topics — food, music, video games — the chatbot’s advances only became more explicit, leaving him uneasy and uncertain about how to feel. The writer ended the letter with a poignant question: “If I develop an emotional connection with an algorithm, will I become less human?”

Love Without Labels: Chinese Revise the Rules on Relationships

March 12, 2025, www.sixthtone.com

SHANGHAI — To outsiders, Zhao Shiyan might appear to be in a typical romantic relationship. Since matching with his partner on a dating app two years ago, they’ve spent their time much like any other couple — holding hands, enjoying movie nights, and sharing intimate moments.

Yet, the 25-year-old says that neither of them have explicitly defined the nature of their relationship. “We don’t think we need to put a label on it,” Zhao tells Sixth Tone. “As long as we enjoy each other’s company and feel comfortable, that’s good enough for us.”

This sentiment has become common today among young Chinese people, as they increasingly prioritize personal happiness and flexibility over commitment. With the economic pressures and individualism present in modern Chinese society, experts say more couples are opting for so-called “situationships” over traditional relationships, focusing solely on their love connection without looking too far into the future.
