I've added two more categories:

  • [Academic Paper]: Papers from academic sources pertaining to AI companionship and its related technologies
  • [Opinion Piece]: Due to the sheer amount of debate and conversations pertaining to AI companionship, articles that convey opinions rather than factual information i.e. news have their own category.

Muah AI's survey provides a comprehensive look at how its users interact with their AI companions, and the results challenge the notion that most users are looking for a serious relationship with AI. According to the data:

  • Less than 2% of users consider themselves to be "seriously dating" their AI companion.
  • A significant majority view their interactions with the AI as a form of entertainment or roleplaying rather than a meaningful romantic or emotional connection.
  • Many users engage with AI companions out of curiosity or as a way to pass the time, often treating the interactions as light-hearted and fun rather than a substitute for a real-life relationship.
  • A notable portion of users also expressed that they enjoy using AI companions for creative roleplaying scenarios, where they can explore fictional or fantasy-based interactions without any real-world implications.

  • People are less likely to trust AI with personal clinical information, especially regarding mental health.
  • The presence of AI as "the artificial third" impacts the patient-doctor and client-therapist relationship.
