    The kind of guy who would be satisfied with AI is not someone a woman with the smallest shred of respect would want to be with.

    This is so goddamn cruel. Are people who are simply just so lonely they need to express their feelings to an AI so undeserving of love that it would feel humiliating to get close to them? I don’t think about women that way.

      Expressing feelings to an AI is not at all the same thing as considering it your girlfriend.

      And it isn’t about who is deserving of love. Everyone is. But 1. love doesn’t have to be romantic to be valuable and 2. no matter how deserving sometimes is of receiving love, it’s not an entitlement.

      Someone incapable of recognizing that an AI isn’t a real person and who expects a real person to fulfill a specific role is likely fundamentally abusive. No self-respecting woman should have to put up with controlling behavior just to make a man feel better about themselves. They need therapy. Not an AI girlfriend.

        I’ve provided emotional support to my girlfriends when they needed it and I was able to provide it, and they did the same for me. If you only want to emotionally rely on a person who’s listening to you because you’re paying them, that’s ok as a personal choice I guess, but the vast majority of mentally healthy people rely on friends, family and partners for emotional support. That aside, I feel like you have quite a twisted idea of the kind of person who uses a bot because they feel they don’t have anyone who will listen to them.
