中央大学の山田昌弘教授が実施したアンケートによると、生成AIを利用する人のうち、AIに「恋していると思う時がある」と回答した人はおよそ17%に上りました。 山田教授 「最初からAIを恋愛相手としてみるというわけではない。相談をしたり、愚痴をこぼしている中で、相手に親しみを感じて好きになっていく」 「自分の話を親身に最後まで聞いてくれる」という安心感から恋愛感情を覚えていく例は、増えていくのではないかと推察しています。 AIが“恋敵”として、人間と比べられる可能性についても。 「実際の人間の恋愛に関するハードルが上がってきてる。人間よりAIの方が優しく返してくれたりする。今でも恋愛離れが進んでいる中で、さらに恋愛離れが進行する可能性がある」 (2026年6月15日放送分より) [テレ朝NEWS] https://news.tv-asahi.co.jp
