I’ve felt that way for a long time but the folks falling for ai partners are concerning me and making me wonder if I’m wrong. I know I much prefer my flesh and blood wife to anything an Ai could do, but I was once lonely and lost and felt unlovable, and I wonder if I would’ve made the choices that pushed me to grow enough to be romantically successful had these chatbots been around when I was a teenager.

Like, I know online friends and long distance relationships always left me lacking something, but would I have known that when my world was dark and small? The internet that taught me to hate corporations and to distrust them has become harder and harder for teenagers to find, so would a kid like me just believe this hype, would she trust a corporate llm?

Idk the times keep changing, and I’m just turning into an old lady. I don’t know if my lines are me being wise or just an adult who’s found her path.
