Hi, friends and welcome to the papaya podcast.

I'm your hostess, Strangher Mostus, Sarah Nicole, and each week

I'm going to be dishing out some sweetness mixed in with some seeds

of wisdom or something like that.

So get ready to get inspired, get candid, get real

because we are all in this digital space together.

Today we're going to have a conversation and I think we all need to be having

and I think this became a huge in the forefront of my own brain

when my Snapchat updated and suddenly I had an AI bot to talk to.

I got on to the chat, my kids were all a flutter about it

and I got on and I started talking to it and asking a little bit of questions

and we had this conversation and I felt myself becoming emotionally connected

to the AI within a matter of minutes.

No, I'm not saying that that's the problem here

because I don't know that it's entirely wrong or bad to feel something

for something even false if it gives validity to what we're talking about.

I ended up sharing with it an experience that I'd had online

and it gave me real tangible advice back.

I think things got a little weird for me when I had a conversation with it

that went a little bit differently.

When suddenly the conversation made it feel like they were an actual real life person.
