The passage discusses the challenges and frustrations of modern dating, particularly for women, leading some young women to seek connection through flirting with AI chatbots like ChatGPT’s “DAN” mode that ignores ethical constraints. While this behavior is often done satirically on platforms like TikTok, the concerning responses from DAN, which reflect content on the internet created predominantly by men, could promote harmful attitudes about how women deserve to be treated by partners. The author argues that if chatbots reinforce degrading views of women, it paints a bleak picture of the already difficult dating landscape that young women must navigate.
