Note to all here:
Don't browse that subreddit.
Shit is so depressing, It feels like watching new mental illnesses being conceived in real time
I can't believe it's not satire
There is a guy on there who did an interview for a TV news station about this.
If it's satire, it's a masterpiece.
It was satire I could see him not being able to hold his laugh the entire time
It's like reading ppl defend porn, one and the same human loneliness epidemic.
It seems pretty unrelated to me...
Pfft, hahaha xD
Hooo, okay, that was a damn good one.
Blaming alternatives/escapism has always seemed like a knee-jerk reaction to me. Similar head-space as when we used to blame TV. Particularly because when I leave the house I don't see much of any room for socialization (though that's where I live, sparse plus I have issues stacked up). It'd even be a hassle to go bowling alone and it'd not be worth the price for me either.
Then again, I definitely think there's a valid argument that this is worse after people begin to consider it a relationship... because at that point they might consider too much close conversation to being unfaithful to their AI.
