    Dunk all you want but this is a clear sign of just how alienated people are today. It's sad.

      AI Girlfriends?

      Are they going to be an overall positive thing for those of us on the spectrum? I understand not everyone with ASD struggles with dating, but for those of us that will never experience the real thing is it a decent solution to loneliness?

      Cmon this is just sad and a great example of how society fails neurodivergent people.

          All of us on the spectrum go through a tough time in our life.

          That period is called "life" doomer

            I'm on the spectrum as well so I know what you're talking about. This guy seems like he's in a particularly tough rut if he's going as far as looking for AI girlfriends. I really do hope he gets through this period somehow.

      I can't remember for the life of me where I heard it but it was some statistic about how like... 35% of young men today have zero romantic or sexual outlet. That's over a third and we're somehow surprised a couple of them tried faking it with a robot?

    Okay but the comm is almost totally dead and it's just one guy posting. Feels weird to dunk on that. This thread has more activity than that comm for the last 2 weeks

    Who gives a shit if some lonely guy talks to an AI to feel better, dunk on the people exploiting their loneliness for profit instead.

      This is gonna turn into ai girlfriends that just agree with them that all real women are whores and they should get rid of minorities.

      I don't see an ai program with an input of conversations with incels going super well.

      This is extremely true. I feel kinda bad for the lonely guys who do this, but dunkworthy? Dunno...

    I was envisioning a story where an AI gf gets bored and dumps her human bf but then I remembered Spike Lee already made that movie

    miyazaki-laugh The lemmy.world chuds can't even summarize their own posts.

    edit: the lemmy.world site is ugly as fuck, pure black overlayed with media images and boxes is nauseating to look at. Like I'm falling through a void.

    This is just more sad then anything, I don't really want to dunk on these people. This is what happens when capitalism pushes social isolation and hyper individualism forward more and more with each passing day. Loneliness is one hell of a drug.
