Did you know that there's an alarming rate of people falling in love with AI BOTs? What's your opinion about this?

The TV show 60 Minutes in Australia had a program about it.

I saw that movie with Joachim Phoenix and I thought it was preposterous. Now I think that with all the social isolation in the world, especially among young men it is entirely possible. It is actually pretty sick.

Desperate people do desperate things.

Weird but meeting women is hard and men don't like doing it.

I have to agree with you that it's hard to meet people and even harder to maintain a relationship if you do happen to meet someone.
I'm a woman 👠👠 but I read things about certain women and how they've changed since I was younger. But social media plays a huge role in why most of them aren't even approachable anymore.

When I was trying to meet someone and would frequent night clubs, it was a lot more simple to approach a woman.
Back then astrology was a big thing. All the guy had to do is ask her "What sign are you" to start a conversation with her.
But as I got older (30-40) they could no longer just ask me what sign I am.
They had to get a little bit more creative than that, so I heard a lot of unique pick up lines. Some of them were pretty good. 👍🏼

It proves the theory that love is an egoistic feeling. Love is vain admiration of oneself reflection.
On the other hand it's possible that lot of people confuse feeling of love or are incredibly gullible. I don't feel much so it's difficult to estimate what goes in heads of people who think AI is something more than a script. It's surely self-deception and they are willing to omit obvious and gigantic warn signals just to gratify their egos, but this is in real relationships not different.
According to some theories is the inner child, the first personality stage humans develop, the initiator of any type of thought which later mature and parent personality stages take over in fill with rational thought. Maybe those two logical stages are less developed in mind of people who fall for AI, but maybe are such pseudo scientific articles and TV Shows about "love to AI" just marketing strategy of people who promote AI and blow up the AI bubble.
With some research who writes such articles it could be possible to find out.

Did you see the movie Jexi? It's a really funny comedy but also a warning.

Phil, a man completely addicted to his smartphone with no friends and a non-existent love life. When his phone breaks, he is forced to upgrade to a new model that comes with an unexpected AI assistant named Jexi.

Humans have been trying to perfect another human into a slave of their will for? Oh since people read the Bible and believe some (thing) controls them mental illness.

Then all these toys for pleasure and control?

Dolls and such and AI and Chatgpt and everything else that's insane.

If it keeps people unable or unwilling to compete on the modern mating market from committing suicide then good for them.

We are facing another evolutionary bottleneck of sorts.

[NathanDavis]

yeah, but that's not love...

that's infatuation and idealization

[douride2]

I remember watching these old cartoons. Called Looney toons.

[LiamJHayden]

I prefer real women with all their flaws, but to each his own.

[beenherebefore]

I'm aware of it. It's very concerning and sad.

[Sal_Monella]
