I have not heard any of this but it does not surprise or shock me. Every time we advance & discover new tech the human mind takes it to some of the worst possible uses. The internet brought us porn 24/7 in the privacy of your home whether you are 10 or 80. Now it's not surprising chat GPT would replace human interaction & available also 24/7 & no need for messy relationship issues. Make your chat bot whoever you want him or her to be ....perfect & everything you want your partner to be. It's a different world & changing faster every year ad we enter into uncharted waters & unable to put pandora back in the box.
