    So on the .world instance, there are a lot of users who have ai girlfriends. I mentioned that it was kinda lame, and promptly got banned from the community where we were talking about. Happened several months ago.

    But one of those guys STILL dm’s me and stalks me on other instances. He was really really mad that I dissed ai girlfriends. Which is exactly the type of person I would imagine has an ai girlfriend. lol

    What’s the point of “dating” ai? Just find someone in real life. And if you can’t, cool then have conversations with AI. But to say they are your girlfriend/boyfriend is strange to me.

    At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter. But I can still think it’s weird. Even if I respect your right to do it.

    And I think AI dating coaches are just as lame and desperate.

      The admins should be able to help with that.
