    Acceptable boomer shit in my opinion. Have sex with as many robots as you want, but don’t become emotionally dependent on something that doesn’t have emotions, thoughts, or feelings.

      Might want to read up on the ELIZA effect, I don’t think everyone will have the mental willpower to avoid that scenario.

        That’s interesting. I was unfamiliar with the term and circumstances of the ELUZA effect, but I guess I know people attribute human characteristics to computers. Maybe some people will fall for it, but society shouldn’t accept it. AI character chat bots are already doing damage to vulnerable people.

      something that doesn’t have emotions, thoughts or feelings

      Saying things like this will be considered intolerant
