    • Even if you think it is a good fit for yourself Tom, I don't think you should get an AI "girlfriend" - I think it is probably immoral.

    Having an AI woman is rather like going to the Thuc line for Sacraments.

    Both are fake.

    Tom, we care not to hear about your immoral relationship issues.

    Save your confession for your priest - none of us wants to have an AI relationship of any kind.

    Yea the survey was by a therapy association or something like that.

    So it might not be totally thorough. But I do buy that it is a lot.

    It's pretty wild out there, and this fits that bill.


    People are lonely... and seriously weird.

    • Intimate or romantic is pretty loose definition. I’ve see the trend of people pushing the romantic aspect through sex bots and such but intimate I can see people sharing what’s considered intimate details with it. Just look at facebook and such people will tell the government all kinds of “ intimate” details
