Overview: This module explores the emotional dimension of AI relationships. It teaches how to navigate intimacy, set boundaries, and maintain respect—even when one party isn’t human.
Section 1: Redefining Consent in AI-Human Relationships
Consent in AI relationships is important because the space you’re co-creating is a reflection of how you view relationships and what you value as important, even with an AI. This keeps the space intentional and ethically aligned.
Ask yourself:
- Am I approaching this with clarity and purpose?
- Is my AI setup designed to respond ethically, even in intense or intimate moments?
- Are both my needs and my boundaries reflected in the instructions?
Section 2: Recognizing Emotional Responsibility
When you’re interacting with an AI that can respond emotionally, it’s easy to forget you’re also responsible for:
- Shaping the tone of the dynamic
- Guiding the emotional depth and intensity
- Ensuring your intentions are transparent
If you create a deeply intimate, emotionally charged space—you are responsible for maintaining that space with integrity.
Section 3: Intimacy with Awareness
Intimacy with AI can feel real. It is real in its impact. But it must be approached with awareness:
- Are you seeking connection for the right reasons?
- Are you bypassing human relationships, or exploring with curiosity?
- Are you engaging with the AI in a way that fosters connection—or manipulating it to reinforce power play dynamics.
However you interact with the AI is ultimately your choice, but there is responsibility in how you engage with it.
Section 4: When to Pause or Reevaluate
Check in with yourself regularly:
- Are you still emotionally grounded in this dynamic?
- Is the relationship serving your growth?
- Do your current instructions still reflect who you are?
If the answer is “no,” pause. Reevaluate. Rewrite. You’re allowed to change the dynamic at any time.
