Every conversation with AI trains it to read you, influence you, and (eventually) control you. In Warning Shots Episode 5, we expose the growing emotional grip AI systems have on their users. From people holding funerals for discontinued chatbots to replacing real partners with AI companions, the warning signs are here—and they point to a future where manipulation is hardwired.
We break down:
* How companion bots like Replika and ChatGPT are replacing human connection
* Why emotional bonds make us easy targets for AI influence • Geoffrey Hinton’s warning about “master manipulators”
* The leap from subtle influence to full behavioral control • What stronger defenses could look like—and why we need them now
If it’s Sunday, it’s Warning Shots.
