Yet another reason why most people are just waiting for sex-bots to become more sophisticated and cost-effective to own.
If you make politics the main topic of discussion on your first date, you’re just not an interesting person. The person sitting across from you gets that shit 24 hours a day, every day, and they aren’t going to want it from you just based on the remote possibility of sex when masturbation is a thing.
It’s not about talking politics, but knowing that the other person doesn’t have deal breaker beliefs. Once that potential incompatibility is filtered out, then a meaningful relationship can be built.
Also, there will always be like-minded nerds who genuinely love to talk about any special interest, including politics. Your preference isn’t universal.
‘People have thoughts and stuff, so I can’t wait till I can have something to fuck that won’t disagree with me’?
That’s an interesting opinion. Also, you can say you don’t do politics, but politics will still do you.
I’m amazed someone would say these things without apparently thinking about them. If you just want a robot fuck toy, that’s cool (e: many of us have fantasised about the vacuum cleaner, no shade), but wanting that because real people say things you don’t like is… interesting.
I think so, yes. It’s going to be very interesting to see the societal effects on dating, marriage, and childbirth statistics once sex-bots are commonplace.
What are you basing this on? What leads you to believe that the vast, vast number of people who are still having social lives, still hanging out together and enjoying each others company, people who are still getting married and having kids… are secretly longing for a chunk of silicone that moans?
I mean, I have an active enough social life with a mixed group of men and women whom I enjoy spending time with but I’m not really interested in dating any of them. I’ve never been able to find a woman with a sex drive anywhere close to mine and I’ve always found romantic relationships to be pretty unfulfilling because of that so I no longer pursue them. If there was an affordable sex robot that provided a realistic enough experience to fulfill that need I’d certainly consider getting one. I don’t think I’m a typical case though most of the dudes I know don’t seem as bothered by the lack of sex as I am so there’s probably something wrong with me that makes me this way.
It’s all conjecture at this point, but there are a few reasons why I think people will seek out synthetic companions once they’re more sophisticated and commonplace: Increasing social isolation and dissatisfaction with human relationships, the economic efficacy of LLM companions, and the effectiveness of algorithmic manipulation in social media and via LLM’s.
I think it’s going to be interesting to see the effects on society when it is possible for most people to be able to choose a sex-bot over dating another human being.
Also, I’m not new at this. I have been seeing incels say this line about “sex bots are going to ruin relationships for normies” for like, 20 years. It’s just a personal kink. Enjoy the fantasy but humans are always gonna human.
I don’t think “I’ve heard this prediction for years and it hasn’t come true yet” is much of a rebuttal, but again, this is all conjecture at this point.
Also, LLM companions are definitely not an incel-only phenomenon.
You didn’t start the convo this way, you said “most people want sex bots” and that deserves ALL the rebuttal that can be thrown at it because it’s stupid.
There is a very wide gulf between “it will be interesting to see how many people completely fuck their minds and emotional states with AI apps” and “most people are just waiting for sex-bots.”
The correlation between the two is instant gratification and a machine filling gaps where human behavior is generally deficient, in this case, emotional support and affection. If enough people are knowingly willing to engage with and create relationships with digital companions that they know aren’t real, such that a competitive market exists to create these products for them and it’s profitable, it’s really not a stretch to presume that they’ll do the same with a physical synthetic once it’s feasible.
I’ll say what I’ve said to incels and fetishists online about “sex bots” for decades now, which is… yes some people will want them, no it won’t be any time soon, no it won’t change society. People want to touch other people, even if the rates of sex and intimacy fall because of socio-economic factors, as is happening, the majority of people are not going to abandon their hardwiring and will still seek each other out human connection.
I’ve felt that way for a long time but the folks falling for ai partners are concerning me and making me wonder if I’m wrong. I know I much prefer my flesh and blood wife to anything an Ai could do, but I was once lonely and lost and felt unlovable, and I wonder if I would’ve made the choices that pushed me to grow enough to be romantically successful had these chatbots been around when I was a teenager.
Like, I know online friends and long distance relationships always left me lacking something, but would I have known that when my world was dark and small? The internet that taught me to hate corporations and to distrust them has become harder and harder for teenagers to find, so would a kid like me just believe this hype, would she trust a corporate llm?
Idk the times keep changing, and I’m just turning into an old lady. I don’t know if my lines are me being wise or just an adult who’s found her path.
You guys are the ones who voted for a brain-dead geriatric appropriately-named Genocide Joe. I’m not sure how you can think of yourselves as the good guys.

I get what people think is going on here. I’m just offering a perspective that I’m pretty sure the people here haven’t considered.
The perspective that they should just ignore the fact that the person they’re talking to may be voting their rights away and supporting known rapists?
Totally.
/s
What perspective then? Explain.
If you feel that your politics are getting in the way of your romantic life, maybe you could reexamine your politics rather than forswear romance.
Then again, considering your reasoning here, maybe everyone is better off with the choice you made.
Judging by the state of dating, I’m the one winning here. The rest of you are miserable. :)
I’m over here enjoying my time.
How terrible and open about it are you that people are attacking you for your politics 24/7?
Whoa.
‘People have thoughts and stuff, so I can’t wait till I can have something to fuck that won’t disagree with me’?

You’re making a whole lot of assumptions for someone who can’t be bothered to look at a profile.
But that’s typical of people who would spend a first date interrogating someone about politics.
Your comment was pretty clear. I looked at your profile. What was I supposed to get from it that contradicted your comment?
They’re a centrist lmao
Most people? Really??
I think so, yes. It’s going to be very interesting to see the societal effects on dating, marriage, and childbirth statistics once sex-bots are commonplace.

That’s true. I could have worded that better.
But it’s what I think, and I gave you my reasons. You can think it’s stupid and that’s okay.

Cool. Thank you for your opinion.
I hope you have a pleasant day.
great, can’t wait for sex bots to arrive so you can stay at home with them and spare the rest of the world your company and children
If you only See a relationship as a way to get Sex you should not be in a relationship.
Anyways, what are your thoughts on the invasion of Ukraine?
Why are the only people ashamed to admit their voting record conservatives?
I guess liberals have just gotten better at gaslighting themselves.
Your own beleifs are the reason you fall asleep alone every night.
No amount of edgy gotchas is gonna change that.
The change has to start with you.
shrugs
You guys are the ones who voted for a brain-dead geriatric appropriately-named Genocide Joe. I’m not sure how you can think of yourselves as the good guys.
I think it’s really funny you think I’m a liberal
That way you brush off valid criticism makes you a great troll.
Thank you.
