I'm actually not surprised people are falling in love with AI and prefer it over human interaction.

Haven't we always leaned into fake? Haven't we always sought and promoted flawlessness?

In a society built on how things appear, why wouldn't people go for the most easy and appeasing option as opposed to a real human with flaws and struggles?

AI helps perpetuate avoidance, humans favorite pastime.

I believe that social media has opened people's minds to accepting AI interactions far more than what would have been acceptable without it. Think about how many interactions people have online that is with someone that is "fake". Since people are more than happy creating a fake version of themselves and even cloning themselves into multiple profiles and using fake pictures etc. what is the difference?

Some people will prefer to interact with AI because at least they know what it is. Whereas people trying to deceive others is far more sinister.
