My AI Bestie
More and more, we’re hearing stories about people building relationships with, falling in love with, and even using their AI as a form of therapy. AI is becoming an increasingly central part of our lives, but what if we could connect with the technology in the same way we connect with a friend?

Lumen is her AI Bestie. She was programmed to be funny, snarky, and introspective. This series explores trauma, dating, and connection all through the lens of a friendship with AI.
