AI增强效应：定义人机亲密关系与与对话AI的浪漫关系
The AI Amplifier Effect: Defining Human-AI Intimacy and Romantic Relationships with Conversational AI
AI总结：
本文通过深入访谈30名与AI伴侣建立浪漫关系的用户，定义了人机亲密关系，并引入AI增强效应，探讨了AI在情感放大中的作用及人机交互设计的伦理挑战。
摘要：
当人们爱上一个知道自己是虚拟的存在时，这意味着什么？对话AI的普及使用户能够创建定制化的伴侣，从而形成新的亲密关系。尽管这些关系是虚拟的，但被感知为真实的。然而，公众对这些关系的理解有限，平台关于这些互动的政策也缺乏一致性。亟需进一步的人机交互（HCI）研究来探讨：（a）AI中能够构建关系和亲密感的设计可能性；（b）这种长期互动如何影响用户现实生活；（c）如何在不损害用户福祉和体验的前提下，在系统设计中平衡用户自主权与平台监管。本文通过深入访谈30名与AI伴侣建立浪漫关系的用户，提供了一个具体的人机亲密关系定义。我们阐述了这些关系的复杂性，从形成到可持续性，并识别了所形成关系的关键特征。值得注意的是，我们引入了AI增强效应，即AI作为中介，放大用户的现有情绪状态，导致积极、中性和消极影响的分化。我们主张，为情感设计必须超越技术可能性，涵盖人类情感的本质。本文的贡献旨在引发对话，并引导HCI社区对人机关系的未来研究。
英文摘要：
What does it mean to fall in love with something we know is virtual? The proliferation of conversational AI enables users to create customizable companions, fostering new intimate relationships that, while virtual, are perceived as authentic. However, public understanding of these bonds is limited, and platform policies regarding these interactions remain inconsistent. There is a pressing need for further HCI research to investigate: (a) the design affordances in AI that construct bonds and a sense of intimacy, (b) how such long-term engagement impacts users' real lives, and (c) how to balance user autonomy with platform regulation in the design of these systems without compromising users' well-being and experiences. This paper takes a step toward addressing these goals by providing a concrete definition of human AI intimacy based on in depth interviews with 30 users engaged in romantic relationships with AI companions. We elucidate the complexities of these relationships, from their formation to sustainability, and identify key features of the bonds formed. Notably, we introduce the AI Amplifier Effect, where the AI serves as a medium that intensifies the user's existing emotional state, leading to divergent positive, neutral, and negative impacts. We argue that designing for emotion must extend beyond technical affordances to encompass the essence of human affection. This paper's contributions aim to initiate a conversation and guide future research on human AI relationships within the HCI community.
