By all means, go for it Treb. If you can’t have a real life boyfriend there is nothing wrong with an AI boyfriend. Enjoy 2025 technology.

Uh... no, I was thinking hypothetically. A.I. chatbots are not good things for one's mental health. It was just in the movie a female robot's face was modeled after a man's pornography profile. It made me think of what my ideal man would look like, and if it could really be assembled via my porn viewership.By all means, go for it Treb. If you can’t have a real life boyfriend there is nothing wrong with an AI boyfriend. Enjoy 2025 technology.
I am not lonely enough to need one. I don't want all my prejudices and flaws reinforced by a sycophant.

Sorry if that came off as harsh. Last semester I took an ethics of A.I. class and a couple of nightmarish situations came up. Scary stuff. If it could be done without damage to the user, I have no moral objections, though I am always going to be a little wary of using anything that might be an emerging sapience for sex. It leads to questions of slavery.

I always enjoy your comments here Treb. Whether I totally agree or not, I do enjoy the intercourse*
*Historically, "intercourse" also had a broader meaning, referring to general communication or dealings between people or groups. However, this usage is now considered old-fashioned, and it's essential to modify the word to clarify if you're not referring to sexual activity. For instance, one might speak of "social intercourse" to signify communication and interaction between individuals.

This is a pic from the early 1960’s or possibly the late 1950’s of men going to work on the New York City subway, all reading the New York Times or another of the morning newspapers. Today you would find a much more diverse crowd with the same number of people either listening with earplugs or reading their phones. When I take the subway to work twice a week, I bring my New York Post, not for their ultra right wing slant on the news, but for their excellent sports section. The point is that I am often the only person in my car reading a newspaper. Just pondering another way life and the world has changed over the past sixty years, …….Yikes, has it really been sixty years since 1965? Yep it has old man.
