Why Do We Keep Asking AI Who We Are?

AI is not just answering questions anymore. Increasingly, people are using it to interpret themselves. What happens when the tool you ask for information becomes something you ask about your identity, your emotions, your relationships and the story you tell yourself? In this UNWRITTEN documentary, we explore AI as a new kind of mirror — one that doesn't simply reflect, but talks back. We look at research on people negotiating identity through AI companions, the psychological effects of AI sycophancy, and what happens when an AI relationship changes or disappears. The question isn't simply whether AI knows who we are. It's what happens when we start using AI to help answer that question. And once something else starts helping you write the story of who you are... you have to decide which parts of that story belong to you.
