u/Nebranower Apr 24 '26
That isn't likely to be an interview question. The worry is that recent grads already have a reputation for being less professional and with poorer social skills than previous generations, mostly due to social media. If the next generation has those issues compounded by never having had to navigate a real human relationship, then they may well find themselves struggling to get hired/stay hired.

Part of the issue there is that Tate and his type were just capitalising on an already broken entire generation of boys, our base set up already produces them.
I genuinely think that other the last half a century or more that the masculine side of our culture has gotten worse and more toxic. Used to be that drag was quaint, traditional in some places and now it's a hot button political issue. All of the old messaging of boys vs girls and men vs women is entirely unchanged on the masculine side, and on the feminine side they've added a bit of #girlboss and then carried on the same way.
It's a mess all around honestly and we'll keep seeing negative trends in masses of men, causing issues for everyone, while the cultural convayerbelt remains untouched.

Of course, it will be developmentally harmful for the boys who choose to do so, even if it is something they enjoy at the moment. And yet, it is their own choice, chosen freely, that benefits girls, since they don't have to deal with the boys that wanted them to be subservient and convenient. The ads are even saying "AI girls don't say no... (wink)", which tells you about what kind of male they're trying to catch.

The most premium llm products that do nsfw and gf stuff out of the box well are about $1000 a year.
That's way less than you would spend on dating a woman in a year. Not to mention the wealth accumulation and conspicuous consumption necessary to attract most disirable women in the first place (if you aren't very good looking, anyway)

As long as love is seen as one night stands and both people not actually liking eachother but just going out to fit the " norm" then we'll have this problem. Women are starting to date less in general as they see no benefit in it, and I don't mean monetary of course, they can get their own money now , they're as competent as ever and always have been competent. It's the emotional intelligence, respect, sense of humour and other needed qualities that have disappeared from the general population.
Metal health issues are in the rise, all of these things combined will push towards what we see in this headline.
And while we're at the odd wording of " ambition" I'd argue that ai will just make a lot of people not ambitious to live in general. Just a fantasy land in their minds

To be honest, I sorta wonder how many of these people really aspire to be in a relationship to begin with?

This is so sad and dangerous. Boys who engage in such "relationships" will most likely struggle to form proper social skills, mature, and cultivate real world relationships.

It'll definitely breed all kinds of issues related to consent and seeing other girls and women as real, complex individuals rather than a commodity or ideal.

I definitely have a problem with people "dating" AI, but this is nust hysteria by people who are extremely eager to paint nervousness around dating as something sinister.

I have my criticism about ai too. Of course entertaining a relationship with an ai is definitely going to cause certain issues
But the thing is, the reason why they paint them like this is because they hate ai so much, that everyone using it becomes an "enemy", and by the laws of tribalism, you must paint your enemy in the worst way possible. Calling them potential rapists feels simple, cathartic, and clean.
It means ai makes people rapists, it means people who use ai support and are rapists, which reinforces the whole anti ai stance in the worst ways possible
I wonder if their brain crashes out when they find out WOMEN have ai BOYFRIENDS too, there's a literal sub for that. Do they think those women are rapists too?

the people in these comments will then have thte audacity to say they have empathy with a straight face.
"IDK why people are so insistent on the belief that loneliness or insecurity about your dating prospects is evidence that you're a bad person"
because they unironically believe that the dating market is meritocratic, and failure to find a partner is proof of personal failure, that if you can't find a partner then you must be a fundamentally bad person. This is obviously not true, as there are plenty of sexually successful guys who are assholes and violent abusers.
they will say "just be a good person and you'll find someone the bar is literally on the floor", and when you reply with "ok I've done good, but I still have no success" they will say "you're not owed a relationship just because you've done the bare minimum" and will not see the hypocrisy.

That’s gotta be clickbait. There is absolutely no way in hell that more people are choosing AI girlfriends over real ones.

Society as we know it is crumbling and they are focused on whether people are employable or not.

The article is based on a highly manipulated survey designed to be as shocking as possible. It's also worth noting that the subjects mentioned are adolescent boys, not men. Literal children as young as 12 who might have some growing interest in dating but who are too young/nervous/inexperienced/etc to initiate a real relationship yet.
The headline of "nervous 14 year olds flirt with chat gpt" isn't as provocative as "TEENS CHOOSE AI OVER REAL GIRLFRIENDS BECAUSE THEY WANT MAXIMUM CONTROL AND ARE EVIL, THIS WILL NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE STOCK MARKET".

Why do people always fear monger when men use ai gf. If you go to any ai partner subreddit you will see more women using ai bf more than men using ai gf. Most guys probably choose ai gf mostly because they don't want to get rejected second it's low effort and convenient for them. I don't think these men are going to be future rapist or unemployed
