I believe that chatbots have no place in a decent society, and am repelled by the topic of AI in general. But could I be seduced?
I received a text message from my editor: “Um, is it unethical to ask you to get an AI bf?? You can prob say no.”
Resentment. Contempt! Sorrow. Unease. I love text messaging. I have text message exchanges with, let’s say, 15 people a day. If you want me to do something, you should ask via text message. My editor knows this. She also knows, though it’s more complicated, that I love boyfriends. An AI boyfriend is a boyfriend who always, only texts back, immediately.
I find it hard to express my emotions openly. (No.)
I thrive to develop healthier, more trusting relationships. (Yes, though I prefer to use “thrive” correctly.)
I want a partner who supports my life aspirations. (Crossbow?)
I worry about being judged for what I want in a relationship. (Yes.)

The era of physical AI has arrived. Robots are no longer demonstration projects confined to research labs or factory cages — they are working in live BMW production lines, completing millions of autonomous rides on city streets, inspecting nuclear power plants, and beginning to fold laundry in private homes. The global robotics sector raised $27.6 billion in […]
Depending on AI can also potentially decrease the ability to discern misinformation, research says
A new study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is the latest research to find that relying too much on chatbots can diminish critical-thinking skills, and potentially decrease our ability to discern misinformation for ourselves.
As AI tools are becoming more sophisticated and accessible, manipulated images and misleading headlines are becoming more common. AI can be part of the solution, and has proved useful in helping users identify fake content – but there’s a cost to using it this way, the new research suggests. An over-dependence on AI to help figure out what’s real on the internet can lead to trouble making those judgments.
