I've provided emotional support to my girlfriends when they needed it and I was able to provide it, and they did the same for me. If you only want to emotionally rely on a person who's listening to you because you're paying them, that's ok as a personal choice I guess, but the vast majority of mentally healthy people rely on friends, family and partners for emotional support. That aside, I feel like you have quite a twisted idea of the kind of person who uses a bot because they feel they don't have anyone who will listen to them.
Again, using a bot is vastly different from deluding yourself into thinking it's a substitute for a real relationship. You're arguing a straw man. I never said anyone who uses a bot isn't a good partner. I said anyone who thinks AI is a girlfriend isn't a good partner.
Do you know of anyone who has been in a non-abusive relationship who claims that an AI is a good partner?
AI can't be a partner. It's impossible. All AI can be is a reflection of yourself.
That's not what I asked, but ok.
Because what you asked is based on a faulty premise.
Literally you:
And so I asked you:
But you're even unable to discuss the most evident premises of what you're arguing for, and yet you run to accuse others of building up strawmans when you aren't even willing to take your own arguments seriously. I have no time to waste in trolls.
