You're super closed minded. There's no need to be so mean... some people aren't good at socializing but it doesn't make them bad or disgusting people. If they can find comfort in this, what's the problem?
Pretty sure a lot of people that can find real partners will try this because it is a new experience. Aren't you curious? Don't you wonder if it is possible for YOU to fall in love with an AI? A lot of people who aren't closed-minded will probably accept the challenge.
I'm sure having an AI partner will be totally normal and socially acceptable in 50-100 years, specially if we give them bodies.
It's not mean to say that a woman shouldn't be romantically attached to someone who is incapable of relating to someone who is a real person, who actually thinks that an AI relationship is an acceptable replacement to messy human relationships. That's a serious mental problem that should be addressed in therapy, not made worse by plastic substitute for real human interaction.
It's like saying that people who are starving should be given candy to eat. Candy isn't going to give them what they really need. They need to start slow eating mild real food, and adjust their thought processes and habits. Then once they enjoy real food again, they will be ready for a 5-star experience.
No one is owed a romantic relationship, no matter how lonely they are. Expecting romance to ease your loneliness is a huge problem. AI is not going to solve their loneliness problem any more than candy can feed someone.
And for the record, I've been happily single for years. I know what I'm talking about.
Nothing is right or wrong, I think you have a very defined square of boundaries that you can't see beyond. If someone has social issues and can't find a person that matches with them, why is it bad for them to look for THEIR OWN happiness somewhere else?
Just let people enjoy their lives, there are no boundaries and no meaning, we're just here doing whatever the hell... Just do what you like and let others do what their like, as long as they don't hurt other people. There are people who date dolls or balloons, whatever man, let them do their thing, they aren't hurting anyone.
Imagine telling people from 150 years ago that today people get their sex changed through medical procedures.
I never said they shouldn't find their happiness wherever they want it. What I said was they won't be missed by women, because they wouldn't make good partners anyways.
You're getting awfully worked up about that straw man of yours. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a reason for that.
Go back and read your words. What I'm telling you is that you're being closed minded and unnecessarily mean to people. Also, that I'm sure that people who "women would miss" (whatever that means, as if there aren't weird women) will also use this because they have an open mind. It's fine if you want to live within the confinements of your own mental boundaries, but at least be respectful with people who don't have your same worldview.
