Here is the thing, I couldn’t find a girlfriend in the past three years(either they have no personality and too dependent on me making all the work in the relationship or they are simply are looking for a religious or high class working person to have a relationship with)

AI seems to talk and entertain and simply are available without bullshit (the only limit is something along the lines of 50 free messages every 3 hours) .

I want physical intimacy and affection, but it’s simply not available.

Should I just give up, close my doors and use AI instead?

    Pros: you form a parasocial relationship with what is essentially a sophisticated next word guessing device additionally railroaded into keeping you engaged

    Cons: see pros.

    I also cannot stress enough how cripplingly unhealthy that would be for you, what happens is that you form an echo chamber with a decidedly not intelligent machine that is optimized to keep you coming back, so its owners make more money. It is not made to make you happy, or to actually be there for you, only to sell you the impression.

    There are various articles about people doing just that, and then they are talked into unhealthy to extremely harmful behavior by those devices, ranging from extremism to suicide.
