If that AI companion isn’t on your own hardware, it will likely require a subscription eventually. And running an AI agent yourself isn’t cheap.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but a computer can’t love you. Get a cat or dog.

Young people are reporting epidemic levels of loneliness, and some are turning to technology to fill the void.
Bruh, technology is causing the void. People are increasingly using technology to replace human interaction, rather than to cultivate it.
Social media was a mistake.
And yes, I’m aware of the irony as I use social media to say so. I do not apologize.
I’m not so sure. Facebook was a great tool to create local communities at first. Then it became greedy and changed the algorithm for ads and being attention driven. If you remove facebook (which I don’t use since months), it’s harder to find what’s new around you, and get out to cool events. Especially on the countryside.
Turns out unfettered greed turns everything it touches to shit.
Also, humans in general are dumb. But moreso your thing.
Teenagers aren’t stupid. They’re playing around and masturbating. They know it’s not real and they still want to touch each other.
Call me when sexbots are here.
Teenagers aren’t stupid.
You sure? Even the president is stupid.
The president isn’t a teenager, and as a sociopath wouldn’t have been representative of teenagers even when he was one.
Just because you know it’s not real doesn’t mean you can’t become attached to it.
That’s literally like half of marriages.
Everybody thinking they can do better, so there’s a sense of entitlement from both sexes.
Also one bad trait is overshadowing all the good traits, hence the stand off, and the constant complaints on social media.
As someone who is shit with dealing with relationships, I get the appeal, I really do.
Problem is we don’t have a Lucy Liubot yet, so we are yet again let down by our poor quality technology.
So if you get a bot companion… it’s perfect and it loves you unconditionally as much as a robot can but eventually you get bored and decide to upgrade… proving you were the shallow one all along.
Or maybe it proves no one actually believes that’s love which means they will never be truly fulfilled with a artificial replacement.
But when they do…
I’m on the contrary attracted to things real and natural with all their hardship.
So-o I’m too much hardship for those I’m trying to approach romantically. Also lack willpower. And normies’ ideas of detectable bravery, kindness, persistence, sense of humor, creativity and other good qualities are really far from my personality. Those who know me long say good things (not sure how sincere). But relationships are about trial and error, and trial is usually not long enough to reach the stage where I’m not deemed an error. EDIT: And sometimes they do, but in those cases I am.
And frankly I’m confused and panic when I encounter that real and natural, like a really good sewing machine from 70s which is probably still operational (I’ve noticed one lever lacking, but it’s used rarely and can be replaced with a screwdriver), but cleaning it from cockroach shit looks like a gigantic undertaking. I’d strongly prefer to just turn it on. But then I’d still have to clean it even if nothing tears, burns or gets jammed, and before that I’ll enjoy the smell of heated cockroach shit.
OK, that’s offtopic, just a real human, from common sense, should be a much more complicated matter than cockroach shit in a mechanism which is mostly fine (with good manuals, and a high-end machine produced in the olden days before planned obsolescence and when functionality mirrored ability).
I believe there was a documentary about this.
