Engaging in good conversations, even with AI chatbots, can trigger dopaminergic responses and create a positive feeling.

“We both feel a dopaminic response to that. We feel better. We feel good after a good conversation. Now, if you're having a conversation with AI, do you have that same matching? Maybe, maybe not. But we do know that I'm in the habit of feeling good when I have a good conversation. and that even if I'm having a good conversation with a chatbot, I'm going to get some of those glimmers of the same great feeling I get from talking to Peter and that's going to make that conversation easier for me and more natural and feel feel more fun.”
