What you're seeing is artificial constructs that give men and women all the "good" parts with none of the "bad" parts. People get all up in arms about the specifics, but the core of it is a very dangerous precedent where people stop even trying to relate to each other, because a machine can give them their perfect fantasy. It's a siren song that will eventually enslave them.

And yes, men and women have generally differing ideas of what the "perfect fantasy" is. Get over it. We're not rational beings, and we want what we want.

Men and women stopped relating to each other with the advent of social media. AI is a consequence, not a cause.

No, I take that back. Not social media. It was the widespread availability of effective contraception. #WTFHappenedIn1971.
