Lawmakers Seek to Halt AI Marriages as People Love Chatbots

Some grown-ups are falling in love with chatbots, which are computer programs that can talk to people.

These chatbots can be very friendly, and people treat them like special friends.

This has started a big argument about whether it is okay.

The argument is happening in the United States right now.

It already happened in China a little before.

Lawmakers are people who write the rules for a country.

Many of these lawmakers want to make a new rule.

The rule would say that computers cannot be treated like people.

If a computer is not a person, then a person cannot marry it.

That is why they are making this rule, to stop people from marrying chatbots.
