AI-assisted companions can engage the imagination and provide a sense of presence, which taps into fundamental social psychology. People often form attachments to tools that offer consistent availability, nonjudgmental feedback, and tailored interactions. Over time, patterns emerge: familiar phrases, preferred topics, and a sense of predictability can resemble early stages of human bonding. Users might project emotions onto the doll, which can influence mood, self-esteem, and motivation. The psychological experience is nuanced by boundary setting, reality testing, and the user’s introspection about what the doll represents. Experts emphasize balance: AI companions can support loneliness, relieve stress, or offer a friendly distraction, but they can also create avoidance of real social engagement if used excessively. Ethical design seeks to respect user autonomy while avoiding manipulation or dependency. Transparent communication about capabilities, limits, and safety helps users maintain healthy perspectives. In the end, the relationship with an AI anchor is a crafted, immersive experience—one that reflects our own needs, fantasies, and responsible use of technology.
