Swiping on thousands of people without getting a single date is not human interaction and that's the reality for some people.

I still don't think an AI partner is a good solution, but you are seriously underestimating how bad the status quo is.

For some people, yes, but 99% of those people are men. The whole "women with AI boyfriends" thing is an entirely different issue.

  • If you have 100 men to 100 women on an imaginary tinder platform and most of the men get rejected by all 100 women it's easy to see where the problem would arise for women too.

    • In real dating apps, the ratio is never 1:1, there's always way more men.

      The "problem" will arise anyway, of course, but as I said, it's a different problem - the women aren't struggling to find dates, they're just choosing not to date the men they find. Even classifying it as a "problem" is arguable.

  • Despite the name, the subreddit community has both men and women and both ai boyfriends and ai girlfriends.

    • I looked through a bunch of posts on the front page (and almost died from cringe in the process) and basically every one of them was a woman with an AI "boyfriend".
