People who received a message crafted by AI from a friend were "less satisfied" with their relationship. A new study from The Ohio State University found that people felt there was a lack of sincerity in such relationships. It found that participants felt that a friend who used AI didn't put in as much effort as a friend who wrote the message themselves. Some were told Taylor used an AI system to tweak the message; others were told a member of a writing group made edits, and the final group was told Taylor edited her own message. "People want to know how much you are willing to invest in your friendship and if they feel you are taking shortcuts by using AI to help, that's not good," Liu explained.
