Reply to comment by provisionings in AI chatbot company Replika restores erotic roleplay for some users by Saltedline

Relationships with AI are easier to manage and have the comfort of control. If one can suspend disbelief - which is easy to do when many relationships nowadays are only real because of chat capabilities on various platforms. People have always been this lonely. Even in a room full of people.

That’s just really sad to me. I’ve always been ok on my own but my son is not.. and I often worry that he’s going to be lonely one day. Kids aren’t interacting with each other like they should. I’m not sure AI is the answer to this problem however. I think there’s plenty of people around.. we need to be more proactive about facilitating people coming together more.
