Jordan Blake

Jordan studies something most people don't think too hard about: why we get emotionally attached to AI, and what that says about how we connect with anyone, really.

Jordan's tested 50+ AI companion apps — not just clicking through them, but really digging into what makes a connection feel real versus what just feels like a chatbot performing "caring." That research now shapes how Aether scores emotional depth across the board.

Jordan's work on human-AI relationships has even been cited in academic research — but honestly, what Jordan cares about most is helping people find something that actually adds to their life, not replaces a piece of it.
