Why do people choose to "date" AI chatbots? Will chatbots undermine or enhance the social skills required for connecting with other humans?

Seeking insights, Paul and Eli invite two experts at the human/AI interface—Paul Bloom and Benjamin Karney—for a wide-ranging, fast-paced, and enlightening discussion.
