[Comments on Relationships with Artificial Emotional Intelligence - from "Here and Now" to "There and Then"].

The structure of relationships in the past, the present and the future is shaped by the idea of humanism. Based on this construct, the article illuminates various aspects and configurations of humanism on a timeline from "here and now" to "there and then". The current reality of care goes hand in hand with an emotional alienation of relationships. Advances in technology and reductionist neurobiological ideas can make it difficult to look at a person's mental illness as a whole. Any (communication) technology that has been developed in the past or will be developed in the future will sooner or later find its way into psychiatry and psychotherapy and change relationships. Transhumanism runs the risk that people will become alienated from each other and their species. Neural networks are algorithms that work regardless of the hardware used, be it based on organic carbon units such as humans or non-organic silicon units such as the computer/cyborg. There will be different ways to achieve super intelligence. Intelligence is a "must" and consciousness is a "can". If there is a change from a homocentric to a data-centered world view and the power of humans is transferred to the algorithms, humans could lose their economic value and the humanistic goals of health and happiness would be lost.
