People are falling in love with their chatbots. There are now dozens of apps that offer intimate companionship with an AI-powered bot, and they have millions of users. A recent survey of users found that 19% of Americans have interacted with an AI meant to simulate a romantic partner.
In a perfect world I’d say “Whatever, let people love their AI partners”. But the current loneliness epidemic was artificially engineered by capital and selling us privately owned chatbots as a solution shouldn’t be tolerated by society.
The only thing I see online about this is really just a growing amount of incels expecting women to give them relationships because they feel like they’re entitled to it.
hi, i’m too fragile for the rejection slot machine and have no way of making friends around town because everyone here is a fucking plague rat and i’m broke. society is fundamentally broken and i don’t like living here. death to america.
There are hundreds if not thousands of studies showing that loneliness is on the rise especially under younger people and frankly I don’t fucking know what kind of privileged asshole one would need to be to not notice this.
Also no fucking clue what kind of communist one could be to not know that capitalism causes social decay, alienation and severs the connection between people and their environment.
This is basic shit and just going “oh it’s just incels” is some real lib shit.
It’s a thing for me that goes into the same bucket as state assisted suicide.
