    If that AI companion isn’t on your own hardware, it will likely require a subscription eventually. And running an AI agent yourself isn’t cheap.

    Everybody thinking they can do better, so there’s a sense of entitlement from both sexes.

    Also one bad trait is overshadowing all the good traits, hence the stand off, and the constant complaints on social media.

    Young people are reporting epidemic levels of loneliness, and some are turning to technology to fill the void.

    Bruh, technology is causing the void. People are increasingly using technology to replace human interaction, rather than to cultivate it.

      Social media was a mistake.

      And yes, I’m aware of the irony as I use social media to say so. I do not apologize.

    Teenagers aren’t stupid. They’re playing around and masturbating. They know it’s not real and they still want to touch each other.

    Call me when sexbots are here.

        The president isn’t a teenager, and as a sociopath wouldn’t have been representative of teenagers even when he was one.

      Just because you know it’s not real doesn’t mean you can’t become attached to it.

    As someone who is shit with dealing with relationships, I get the appeal, I really do.

    Problem is we don’t have a Lucy Liubot yet, so we are yet again let down by our poor quality technology.

      So if you get a bot companion… it’s perfect and it loves you unconditionally as much as a robot can but eventually you get bored and decide to upgrade… proving you were the shallow one all along.

      Or maybe it proves no one actually believes that’s love which means they will never be truly fulfilled with a artificial replacement.
