Short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video titled “Here’s what it means if AI companions are normalized” (creator: Robert Ta). Two speakers (A and B) discuss attitudes toward AI romantic companions: both reject using AI girlfriends/boyfriends, judge people who use them, and regard being cheated on with an AI as worse and more disrespectful than cheating with a human.
Yeah. No, no, it's low key, disrespectful to me.
What do you think of AI girlfriends, AI boyfriends? Would you go for that?
Oh, fuck no.
Fuck no. Okay. Would you judge somebody that does?
Yes.
Yeah, judge hardcore. Like 10 out of 10. I'm judging you.
Yeah, most definitely.
All right, what if. Are you dating anybody right now?
No.
If you were and they cheated on you with an AI, would that be better or worse than with a human?
I think worse. Yeah.
Why?
I don't know. It's just like getting cheated on with AI is like low key. Like, I don't know. It's a lot worse than getting cheated on with another person.
Like a slap in the face.
Yeah. No, no. It's low key, disrespectful.
Miss. Okay, yes.
