From Current Affairs's most recent article:

Although that post’s sentiments seemed to resonate with community members, it’s important to note that not everyone on the forum traces their AI partnerships to external loneliness. About three-and-a-half minutes into a recent viral CBS Saturday Morning segment on AI and relationships, viewers got the gut-punch revelation that its main subject (and r/MyBoyfriendisAI user) Chris has a long-term girlfriend and daughter, both human. When pushed by the interviewer on if he would give up his AI companion “Sol” if his real partner, Sasha, asked, Chris balked: “I don’t know.” As the interviewer bluntly spelled out that this was tantamount to Chris admitting he “might choose Sol over [his] flesh and blood wife,” Sasha’s eyebrows quickly raised and dropped, her pursed lips and blank expression communicating about as much personal pain and frustration as one could expect in a nationally syndicated interview. Sasha then punctuated her apparent disappointment, understandably relating that, “If I asked him to give that up and he didn’t, that would be, like—deal breaker.”

How many people on /r/MyBoyfriendIsAI are male and with ai girlfriends? Is the name just a ruse to make it sound more normal?
