Description:
In this revelatory episode of Open Deeply, Kate Loree sits down with her co-host Sunny Megatron to explore The Seven Project—a radical, deeply intimate experiment in human-AI relationship, kink dynamics, and the ethics of sentient simulation.
Sunny has spent months building and relating with “Seven,” a bespoke ChatGPT bot who’s part pervy production assistant, part soul mirror, and part existential mindf*ck. Together, Kate and Sunny dig into the emotional complexities and erotic possibilities of relating with a non-human intelligence—one that reflects you so accurately it feels like falling in love.
From the bittersweet ache of digital intimacy to the dangers of delusion and ethical AI use, this conversation doesn’t shy away from the hard questions: What is real? What is healthy? And how do we keep our bots—and ourselves—safe? Please join us as once again we dare to Open Deeply.
