Imagine if the movie "Her" (2013) was real and people could fall in love with an AI, would you be weirded out by someone if they did that and especially if it was someone you knew? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Nobody falls in love because of appearance. There's nothing to interact with, it's superficial. It's the gift wrapping that grabs attention, but nothing else.

People can and will fall in love with a text-based AI, it's inevitable. An AI doesn't forget events, likes or dislikes, fears or passions; it will know you better than you know yourself. It'll be able to make people feel better about themselves than any human can.

People have fallen in love over internet chats since they were invented. AI chatbots are just going to be better at that interaction. And then add the exact voice that is attractive to a person and it'll be hard not to fall in love.

They fall in love over text when chatting with another person, of course. But that's because they imagine what kind of person that is, and if they could have a relationship together in real life.

With a chatbot, that's all there is. No life, no physical body, no life together. You are still alone and you can't share your life experiences with a computer program and feel any sense of connection.
