Melbourne writer Rosie Beaumont recounts her December 21, 2025 experiences using chatbots and personalised companion AI, finding them useful for information but emotionally unsatisfying. She notes that 55% of surveyed Australians report benefits from regular AI use while 64% do not fully trust it. Beaumont concludes she will use AI for facts and planning but not for relationships.
