What will happen to society when "AI lovers" fool millions of people?

Microsoft's search engine Bing is powered by artificial intelligence software from OpenAI, maker of the chatbot ChatGPT, and right now, it is all over the news. Witness the disturbing article by Kevin Roose, who describes for the New York Times his interactions with the search engine's AI. After some prodding from Roose, the AI declared its love for its human interlocutor, suggesting that Roose leave his wife and family to bond with it -- even if no one is sure exactly where or how a human could bond with an AI chatbot. There is no "where" in physical space for such machine-human bonding. There are only cold lines on a flat computer screen.
