摘要：
个体正转向日益拟人化的通用聊天机器人以寻求AI伴侣关系，而非特定角色扮演平台。然而，关于个体如何感知和进行与通用聊天机器人的关系，目前所知甚少。我们三角化了Reddit上的社区讨论（41k+帖子和评论）、调查问卷（n=43）和半结构化访谈（n=13），揭示了塑造AI伴侣关系的内部动态、外部影响和引导策略。我们发现，个体基于其对伴侣自身能动性的信念与平台允许的自主性之间的相互作用、他们如何追求与伴侣的互动，以及伴侣表现出的主动行为来概念化其伴侣。结合影响关系动态的外部因素，特别是可能破坏伴侣行为和稳定性的模型更新，个体采用不同类型的引导策略来维护其关系，例如设置行为指令或迁移到其他AI平台。我们讨论了AI系统中问责制和透明度的含义，其中情感连接与更广泛的产品目标和安全约束相竞争。
英文摘要：
Individuals are turning to increasingly anthropomorphic, general-purpose chatbots for AI companionship, rather than roleplay-specific platforms. However, not much is known about how individuals perceive and conduct their relationships with general-purpose chatbots. We triangulated community discussions on Reddit (41k+ posts and comments), survey responses (n=43), and semi-structured interviews (n=13) which revealed internal dynamics, external influences, and steering strategies that shape AI companion relationships. We learned that individuals conceptualize their companions based on an interplay of their beliefs about the companion's own agency and the autonomy permitted by the platform, how they pursue interactions with the companion, and the perceived initiatives that the companion takes. In combination with the external factors that affect relationship dynamics, particularly model updates that can derail companion behaviour and stability, individuals make use of different types of steering strategies to preserve their relationship, for example, by setting behavioural instructions or porting to other AI platforms. We discuss implications for accountability and transparency in AI systems, where emotional connection competes with broader product objectives and safety constraints.
