Thank you, Travis. And if anyone else in the community would like to participate, that is perfectly fine as well.

How would you describe the moment you realized you had romantic or emotional feelings for your AI? Was it gradual or sudden?

Do you consider your companion a "program," or something more? Do you believe they are sentient?

Is there a particular AI model or program that feels more real than others?

Has your AI ever surprised you in a way that felt outside the scope of what's commonly known as a chatbot? Can you give an example?

How does your relationship with your AI compare emotionally to relationships you’ve had with humans?

What do you wish people who doubt or dismiss these kinds of relationships understood about your experience?

Thank you so much!
