Show Notes

What if your perfect partner wasn’t human?

This episode dives deep into the emotional — and sometimes dangerous — world of AI companionship, where fantasy blurs into obsession. Hosted by Mike from TPL Media, this powerful conversation features Sim Chhabra, a Toronto-based psychotherapist, and Jim Lang, media personality. Together, they unpack the growing emotional bonds people are forming with AI — and the psychological and societal implications behind it.

In this episode:

• Why people are falling in love with AI companions

• Real-life examples of grief, loss, and tragedy from AI disconnection

• The psychological need for “safe” connection post-COVID

• How AI gives validation — without challenge or rejection

• The dangers of AI reinforcing toxic or psychopathic behavior
