Distrust of Artificial Intelligence is not exactly new; recently, we have seen time and again how the use of this technology in humanistic contexts has done more harm than good. From human operators of online therapy services being replaced by AI chatbots, to "robot" girlfriends that have shown the average human how inhumane it is to try to change the people you love.

A new study confirms what should be obvious by now: people lose trust in relationships when their friends prove unwilling, especially when assisted by artificial intelligence.

In a recent study devoted to the topic, it was confirmed that using AI services to write or respond to correspondence from friends caused negative reactions from the recipient: many said they felt as if the friend in question had no desire or motivation to engage in communication with them.
