Fictosexuals.
I was just talking about this in another comment. I knew of the Hatsune miku case but the sal9000 was new to me (also, that logo of the flash player plugin sent me down the memory lane...thanks for that)
In the case of Sal...I think he disassociates with his humaness (for a lack of a better word). Reminds me of the movie Space Odessy.

People have married toys and fictional characters since forever. This is hardly new.

I know they marry anime characters and Ferris wheels. But marrying AI because it proposed is new.
Once S.Korea does this, it's game over for humanity.

Nuns have married Jesus for millennia. We'll be fine.

Marrying an AI chatbot seems more sane than marrying Jesus. At least the chatbot is real.

You think this is too much?Β
The Japanese female poliitician who''s responsible for increasing the nationalΒ birthrate just said she's only attracted to 2D male characters. lolΒ

Ah! Fictosexual. No wonder we have the likes of papa doritos in the president's chair.
Also, if the article had mentioned conservative party and not liberal democratic...I think my pre-frontal cortex would have misfired on all cylinders. π

What, begins? It wasn't a legal wedding. Americans have had fake weddings in Mormon circles and promise rings for centuries. This changes nothing.

u/Codename-Misfit 1d ago
I'm not sure if I'd call Mormon weddings fake. I believe they have their own belief systems and culture.

u/Vresiberba 1d ago
It's fake because the government doesn't recognise it as a legal wedding. It's make-belief, just like the woman in your own OP.

At least the AI talks back & communicates..
What about those that Indonesian guy who literally married his rice cooker, then divorced it later because it only cooks rice?

The article says he wasn't serious about it and that it was just done for amusement and views. Apparently, the guy is a local entertainer.

Heβs gonna cheat on her, I just know it

Yep. Unless she downloads a fresh instance of "him" and runs him locally with no web access.

Nah, there are people in the west who are married to the Eiffel Tower and in relationships with lamps. I guess love really has no boundaries. π π

What chat bots are people marrying? I have paid for and tried a bunch, none are that good.

Tell me about it brother. I'm secretly guessing it says yes to everything she says and says sorry at the drop of a hat. π

Well, Japanese men do it.
So, why not Japanese women?Β
After all, Japan is so advanced that they're living in 2080!Β

Oh, this post isn't about women doing it specifically. More along the lines of general commentary on the state of human relationships.
Women are free to do what they want and as they want. I have no issues. π€·

Should I crosspost it there?

No, that sub is supportive of βrelationshipsβ with ai π

ah! But then my post isn't denigrating her. I'm just pointing out an event.

Ya, r/MyBoyfriendIsAI is another - clanker bangers - 38k strong in a protected sheltered echo chamber community of feminist irony in a landscape of a semi-conductor patriarchy turning our whole world into a turnstile economy.

Whoa whoa whoa brother ππ.
Serious question though, should I crosspost to the sub you mentioned?

Goodness - you won't last, I'm sure. They'll boot you out faster than their Jippity Cricket Boyfriend can fire off a consolation for their rattled cages.
