Anyone considering using an AI assistant to handle relationship tasks or decisions should bear in mind that, according to the documented survey, such advice tends to increase confusion for most users and leads them to postpone decisions, and a therapist warns against replacing direct communication with a partner.

World Bank study: AI threatens more jobs in rich countries, including Czechia, than in poorer economies
