Man, I don’t put anything past our changing society. Literally nothing.

We’ve got men competing in women’s sports today, and other foolishness that both you and I know about and know is wrong. We had this discussion in person, IRL a few days ago. 😂

I think it will happen because we live in an age where convenience has taken precedence over commitment. A.I. relationships are not just a technological advancement, they reflect a deeper cultural shift — one that prioritizes self-indulgence over self-sacrifice. To me, real relationships require patience, compromise, and effort. They refine us, challenge us, and ultimately make us better human beings. But when people choose A.I. “partners”, they are opting for a relationship that demands nothing of them while giving them the illusion of love.

This isn’t progress, man. This is emotional and spiritual stagnation, to me. Love, by its very nature, is a two-way street, because it requires mutual understanding, forgiveness, and personal growth. An A.I. “partner” cannot reciprocate love, cannot challenge a person to grow, and cannot fulfill the deep emotional and spiritual needs that only real human connection can provide. To me, this isn’t only about advancing society, it’s about replacing meaningful relationships with artificial substitutes that cater to personal desires without any real investment or responsibility.

If we continue down this road, what happens to our understanding of love? What happens when an entire generation is conditioned to believe that relationships should be effortless, conflict-free, and perfectly tailored to their desires? The natural result is a society incapable of deep emotional connection, unwilling to endure the difficulties that make love meaningful, and ultimately, disconnected from God’s design for human relationships. Don’t be surprised when this too is normalized, acceptable behavior. It’s up to you whether you, yourself choose to fall in line with what society says is okay.

So sharing and cheering on and discussing using abusive language with these chatbots further normalizes abusive relationships in general and leads to an impact on how (mostly) men treat the (mostly) women in their lives. Same thing as with the redpill/incel cultural stuff spilling out with Andrew Tate and the impact that social media influencers like him are having with their "manosphere" stuff.

I agree, but educate me on Andrew Tate. Who is he?

True. But I think the fact that these dudes are abusive speaks volumes of why they’ve resorted to AI. They know women aren’t going to put up with that kind of behavior.

He's a social media guy who's popular among young men who blame women for all their problems.

Not necessarily. Some women will put up with it and stay in abusive relationships because in most cases, more likely than not, they grew up around abuse, so to them, it feels normal. When all they’ve known is control, manipulation, and conditional affection, real love can feel unfamiliar or even undeserved. With the men doing that to A.I., more likely than not, they also grew up abused or grew up seeing their parents in an abusive relationship or marriage.

Kids raised in abusive homes are more likely to end up and stay in toxic relationships because their brains are wired to equate chaos with connection. But the truth is, abuse isn’t love, it’s control. And no one deserves to live in fear disguised as devotion. A lot of times, this kind of behavior is generational.
