Hey. I honestly thought that your point was dumb and that you were going to advocate for a dystopia of AI relationships.

But now that I've read your article I see your point and actually agree with you. AI girlfriends are definitely not the cause of loneliness.

There are certainly many factors at play here but my biggest bet on the cause is social media

Hi. I’d rethink your use of ‘ai’ in your writing. This article was clickbait fluff that could have been much more thought provoking and informative. Yes, humans struggle to find “good” mates in our modern societies, technology being one of many contributors to this complex issue. ‘Ai’ chat bots have grown in popularity recently due to ease of access and an increase in loneliness across the world. Instead of monetizing the fear mongering, you could have done some more research, provided more context and exposition, and possibly offered an idea as a solution: Societies should take note and implement strategies to foster more community and relationship building at the local level, for all age groups.
