If you flirt with an AI Robot , or AI messenger , Is that cheating? if you are with someone?

Would you consider it cheating if your partner was flirting with an AI Robot or AI messenger?

[Crimsyjo]

No I wouldn't consider it cheating but it would make me question what is wrong in our relationship and if it can be fixed. For instance my partner might be feeling he can't express himself fully with me. If it's just his way of "flirting" in a safer way than a online real person I think I could accept that.

[Speaking_Frankly]

It depends on the boundaries of the relationship. If a couple considers flirting to be harmless fun when nothing more is to come of it, I don't see the issue but if the couple's boundaries are more strict in a monogamous relationship then I don't think the flesh and blood vs AI prompt is material to whether it's cheating or not. If anything, it may be perceived as worse because it's considered that an artificial prompt is better company than the person who was cheated on.

Some SWERF narratives have denounced the idea of men using sex robots instead of engaging in relationships with women though I suspect part of that is down to such devices removing the leverage women hold in relationships.

Of course, that counts as cheating. In the near future, there will even be people marrying AI robots.

I wouldn't take it as cheating as I'm sure that no one with common sense would take their flirting with an AI seriously themselves lol...

If your partner sees emotional or romantic interaction with an AI as betrayal, then yes—it’s cheating. If both agree it’s harmless, then no. Clear communication defines the answer.

This is just weird!! Those things look and sound creepy to me. But, desperate people do desperate things.

[Nikki1989]

Flirting by itself is not cheating. Furthermore, what passes as flirting is very subjective.

[Unycorn]

That is a topic in Marc-Uwe Kling's QUALITYLAND

this is fucked up man. Being attracted to AI is weird. Same as being attracted to sex dolls.

[Finchie40]

There are desperate people out there

[qwerty2469]

Who cares? Flirt with robots and get perked off by Asians at massage parlors.

[Anonymous]

Yes. Those AIs flirt back.

[Buford_T_Justice]

[Buford_T_Justice]

[Sal_Monella]

Not to me.

I would call it cheating if she had sex with an AI "hospitality" android.. If have to retaliate by going out to enterprise and renting a weekend twofer. A hospitality android and a new Corvette.
