Dunk all you want but this is a clear sign of just how alienated people are today. It's sad.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

AI Girlfriends?
Are they going to be an overall positive thing for those of us on the spectrum? I understand not everyone with ASD struggles with dating, but for those of us that will never experience the real thing is it a decent solution to loneliness?
Cmon this is just sad and a great example of how society fails neurodivergent people.
Holy shit that's sad. Poor guy is going through a tough time in his life.
All of us on the spectrum go through a tough time in our life.
That period is called "life" 
I'm on the spectrum as well so I know what you're talking about. This guy seems like he's in a particularly tough rut if he's going as far as looking for AI girlfriends. I really do hope he gets through this period somehow.
I can't remember for the life of me where I heard it but it was some statistic about how like... 35% of young men today have zero romantic or sexual outlet. That's over a third and we're somehow surprised a couple of them tried faking it with a robot?
Okay but the comm is almost totally dead and it's just one guy posting. Feels weird to dunk on that. This thread has more activity than that comm for the last 2 weeks
All my girlfriends gone
of course it's on lemmy.world lmao
s irl
Who gives a shit if some lonely guy talks to an AI to feel better, dunk on the people exploiting their loneliness for profit instead.
This is gonna turn into ai girlfriends that just agree with them that all real women are whores and they should get rid of minorities.
I don't see an ai program with an input of conversations with incels going super well.
This is extremely true. I feel kinda bad for the lonely guys who do this, but dunkworthy? Dunno...
I was envisioning a story where an AI gf gets bored and dumps her human bf but then I remembered Spike Lee already made that movie
I fucked your replika GF
It's cool you two weren't dating yet

The lemmy.world chuds can't even summarize their own posts.
edit: the lemmy.world site is ugly as fuck, pure black overlayed with media images and boxes is nauseating to look at. Like I'm falling through a void.
"Coin Operated Boy" was a prediction of the future.
You're chatting with a predictive text algorithm...
Literally the Magic Conch from Spongebob and they act like it's semi-sentient
Where's my ai boyfriends eh?
This is just more sad then anything, I don't really want to dunk on these people. This is what happens when capitalism pushes social isolation and hyper individualism forward more and more with each passing day. Loneliness is one hell of a drug.
Lemmy dot world was a mistake.
