People should "think wisely" about using artificial intelligence (AI) to compose Valentine's Day messages, psychologists have said.
A University of Kent study asked 4,000 participants how they would perceive those who use AI tools to complete different tasks.
The results revealed participants judged people "more negatively" when they used AI to write love letters, apologies and wedding vows, researchers said.
Using AI to compose personal messages was seen as "less caring, less authentic, less trustworthy and lazier", even when the writing itself was high-quality and users were honest about their AI use, it found.
Tunbridge Wells resident Jacqueline McKenzie said while she used AI for some tasks, she would not use it for something personal, adding: "Never in a million years."
