It might be love but it's likely just a bunch of people who don't know what actual love feels like and are deeply in the lust territory. In summer school we read Romeo and Juliet. The teacher posited that it was the best love story ever written. This tall girl in the class who obviously had the birds and bees talk before any other students in the class put forth that the story was strongly about lust and how acting on our urges even over a few days, is still a reactive impulse that should be controlled. Well, the teacher told her to shut up and go to the principal's office which has stuck with me. It's made me realize that a lot of people do not understand their own emotions of love, lust, and even hate or fear.

So yeah, I'd think people falling in love with AI would be strange. I'd question if it was love or just a lust for a feeling that they never got or rarely got in their life that was not abundantly available until certain developments. In school this was puberty. In these cases, it's technological advancements. Either way, it ignites a feeling that only those with understanding and forethought can control. It requires a lot of impulse control which society is underdeveloping in our must-be-ready-right-now mindset.

So yeah, I'd be weirded out. I don't think the emotions from the human side are going to be reciprocated from the AI side. Anyone pointing to a reaction from the AI as "love" is going to be attempting to fool themselves or/and others because they have some sort of investment, emotion, monetary, futuristic hope. So, if you fall in love with AI, I'd have questions and pause.
