People are increasingly using AI to break up with their partner – study

Digital "goodbye": how artificial intelligence is becoming a mediator in breakups

21st century technologies have penetrated even the most delicate sphere of human relationships. According to recent research, artificial intelligence has unexpectedly turned into a "digital mediator" when ending romantic relationships, helping people formulate what they don't dare to say in person.

Statistics demonstrate a worrying trend: more and more users are turning to chatbots and neural networks to compose "farewell letters." Motives vary – from fear of emotional confrontation to the desire to find the most gentle wording. Many admit that they simply cannot find the right words when they need to tell their partner about breaking up.

Notably, messages created by artificial intelligence are characterized by balance and tact that are difficult to achieve in an emotionally tense situation. However, psychology specialists are raising the alarm: such an approach can cause psychological damage to both parties, especially if the recipient recognizes the "templated" nature of the message.

The phenomenon is taking on an even deeper character – some users trust AI even with the analysis of their feelings, asking algorithms questions about the advisability of continuing relationships or the reasons for emotional cooling. This indicates the formation of a new form of digital dependency, where key life decisions are delegated to machines.

Psychologists insist: although artificial intelligence can serve as an auxiliary tool, it cannot replace sincere dialogue and acceptance of emotional responsibility. Ending a relationship requires not only the right words but also genuine respect for another person's feelings.

Experts predict further spread of this practice, especially among the younger generation, for whom technological solutions have become a familiar element even in the most personal aspects of life.
