No, they really haven’t.
i do not believe those numbers
We surveyed 1,012 adults living in the United States about their interactions and relationships with artificial intelligence systems and computer systems. We used the Surveymonkey audience census balancing to ensure an even representation of adults from across the nation, age groups, income ranges, and other factors.
Yeah … I’m not comfortable with Surveymonkey results with some P-value dragging being offered as academically useful study.
Yeah. I know that I sound like some head-in-the-sand denialist but I straight up do not believe the numbers
The only thing that makes this reasonable (to me) would be if a qualifying question was “have you ever used a chatbot”. 1/3 would still be high, though another commenter notes that it’s actually closer to 1/4, but still. I can potentially believe 1/3 people who have interacted with chatbots have had some kind of romantic interaction with them. I don’t want to come across as anti-science, but the results are very strange, even if it was just 1/4 people who have used a chatbot in the first place.
I doubt 1 in 3 Americans have even used a chatbot (outside of customer service bs).
Found the original study:
And of course no souces …
Methodology
We surveyed 1,012 adults living in the United States about their interactions and relationships with artificial intelligence systems and computer systems. We used the Surveymonkey audience census balancing to ensure an even representation of adults from across the nation, age groups, income ranges, and other factors. Our team examined survey data for signs of bad responses including incomplete responses or open answer responses signifying they took the survey in bad faith and removed any such responses. This study has a margin of error of 3.08% at a 95% confidence level.
So this web site who “coincidentally” sell
Individual, Group and Couples TherapyHave independently made a survey on 1,012 adults living in the United States
…ok
28% is closer to a quarter than to a third.
Only 8.77% “In a married or similarly long-term committed relationship” which seems hard to understand when 47% of Americans are married.
Are they counting all of the bots on services like tinder, bumble, and Ashley Madison?
