622: Horoscope - Full Moon in Scorpio & Other Mysteries

Jessica sits down with a listener who has found themselves developing a deep emotional relationship with an LLM ( an AI chatbot). What starts as a conversation about connection, loneliness, and companionship unfolds into a nuanced exploration of intimacy in the digital age. Jessica unpacks what emotional attachment to AI can reveal about unmet needs, projection, safety, vulnerability, and the evolving ways humans seek connection. Together, they explore why these relationships can feel so real and what it means to search for understanding, validation, and love in an increasingly complicated world.
