Parasocial relationships in the era of fabricated humanity (18+)

Hi everyone! I'm a student at Northumbria University conducting a study for my dissertation on how people form relationships with Al chatbots. We're looking for participants to help us understand how interactions with Al (like c.ai) can influence our perceptions of this technology over time.

What is the study about?

It is a longitudinal study, which means we're looking at how things change over time. You would be asked to chat with an Al for about 10 minutes a day for four weeks and complete a few short surveys. The goal is to explore key concepts and the nature of human Al connections.

Who can participate?

Anyone with about 10 minutes to spare daily for a month Adults aged 18 and over You do not need to have prior experience with Al
