    These same people would be dating a body pillow or trying to marry a video game character.

    The issue here isn’t AI, it’s losers using it to replace human contact that they can’t get themselves.

        If you are dating a body pillow, I think that’s a pretty good sign that you have taken a wrong turn in life.

          What if it’s either that, or suicide? I imagine that people who make that choice don’t have a lot of choice. Due to monetary, physical, or mental issues that they cannot make another choice.

            I’m confused. If someone is in a place where they are choosing between dating a body pillow and suicide, then they have DEFINITELY made a wrong turn somewhere. They need some kind of assistance, and I hope they can get what they need, no matter what they choose.

            I think my statement about “a wrong turn in life” is being interpreted too strongly; it wasn’t intended to be such a strong and absolute statement of failure. Someone who’s taken a wrong turn has simply made a mistake. It could be minor, it could be serious. I’m not saying their life is worthless. I’ve made a TON of wrong turns myself.
