    Japan does have a thing going on with AI girlfriends, as well as other alternatives to dating. I’ve also heard that it’s a thing with some in the Nerd community. I can understand why. Relationships are hard. Agreeing to share your life with a chick (or dude) is hard, requires lots of communication skills and some extra dose of humility. I can see why AI dates are more fun. The AI just knows how to string words together in a way dating has been done over history, in a way that doesn’t involve the AI’s hopes and dreams (which they don’t have). I can see plenty of room to look at that and think it’s a bit crazy. Heck, I think that’s a bit strange. Then I shrug and go back to my RL wife and my day to day concerns and let people have their AI BFs or GFs and let it be. I got much more important things in my life to worry about…such as ensuring my wife isn’t ground under the bootheel of oppression because the Dems aren’t doing exactly what some whiny commentor on Lemmy wants them to do.

    No doubt about that.

    And this is why we need to work and work hard to ensure that BS like ‘Dems no better than Reps’ gets shut down every time it rears its ugly, stupid head on here (or anywhere else, for that matter).

      When I say AI girlfriends aren’t a thing, I don’t literally mean it’s never happened. I mean when it’s like .000001% of the world population doing something, it hardly seems worth talking about or criticizing like this winner was spending energy doing. Probably more people eat their own shit than do that.

        Yeah, I think we’re in agreement on the AI girlfriend thing. I might have just dismissed it as a weird hangup, but with everything else this poster has done recently, maybe that should be fair game.

        I think the mods saying ‘he’s got some shitty ideas but they don’t violate the TOS’ may have broken him. Talk about damning with faint praise! I still say the Mod team is coddling him. I personally think calling a group I belong to (Democrats) a bunch of mass-murderers (Genocide accusations) is damn personal, but I don’t run the show here.
