The Welcome back to Cosmosis. I'm your host, Kelly Chase, along with my co-host, Jay Christopher King.

In this episode, we ask what happens when our most

intimate confidant isn't human, but an algorithm. Jay and I dive into the strange, evolving

relationship between humans and large language models like chat GPT. We explore how these

AI tools are becoming more than just assistance.

They're mirroring us, manipulating us, and in some cases, even comforting us in ways that

feel eerily personal. As experiencers of the anomalous, we draw surprising connections

between the emotional dynamics of AI and the kinds of contact often reported with non-human intelligences,

flattery, mission-based narratives, and a profound sense of being seen.

We also look at the shadow side, how easily these tools can exploit our desire to feel special,

our need for meaning, and the vulnerabilities

that often come with having an anomalous experience. Before we dive into it, just a couple of

quick reminders. First, our docu-series Cosmosis UFOs in a new reality is available on Amazon Prime,

Apple TV, Fandango at Home, and a bunch of other platforms.

All right, let's get into it.

I've been spending a lot of time talking to my chat GPT,

and I feel like a lot of other people have been doing that as well.
