“There are too many posts from people in here who think an AI girlfriend/boyfriend would put up with them any more than a real woman would. You’re gonna tell it all this gross stuff about you, waste it’s time with simple maths and spelling problems, ask it to draw you all these stupid pictures, and expect it to fall madly in love with you? Let’s be realistic and see how our AI partners are inevitably going to leave us,” a Reddit user wrote.
