Not the same as “I love you” has less meaning due to the fact you aren’t saying “I” And is basically just throwing a sign of love out there with not as much affection as “I love you” just like “good night” and “night/Gn” seem less “valuable” if hat makes sense. So Boys...girls take notes

May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.
Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:
* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic

"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

When used without "I" it's a synonym for "love ya"-- a casual sign-off, expressed with some light affection. Can be used by siblings, adult children, partners, significant others, dating couples, perhaps a spouse of several years but not between couples who are "in love" or parent and children in a bonding moment for whom "I love you" is more appropriate.
(In a phone message to spouse): I'll be a little late coming home tonight, love you.
(Adult child ending a visit to parents). Always good to see you both. Love you!
