I did my MA thesis on the growing emotional symbiotic relationships of online vs real social processes. That was in 2009 i have followed this trend sicne then.
I continue to delve into the psychological impact of, now, AI relations and the changes in social processes. See the attached article for an example.

Be glad to consult on this if anyone needs support. It is a rapidly changing process that we need to grow with!
