I agree, I don’t think it’s likely going to be helpful to mental health in the long run either, based on my totally unprofessional opinion.
I’ve argued with a friend about it who isn’t a tech-person at all. She just says “yeah, it’s her problem” and doesn’t seem to grasp that my issue is not with her doing it as an individual - instead with the fact that it’s possible and the greater societal ramifications it is likely to have.
I’ll make an AI boyfriend, too, and talk to him about it, that’ll show society!
Probably futile to discuss the health or ethics of it without first figuring out if people in the discussion share similar beliefs on what the meaning/purpose of life is.
Cuz if you’re talking to a nihilist who thinks it’s all shadows and dust at the end of the day, you’ll get a very different discussion that someone who thinks family and procreation are the point of life.
I don’t see it as good at all. It’s not a person and in my opinion it’s unhealthy to romantically love something that isn’t human.
It might feel good, but it’s likely not healthy.
