Why is nobody discussing Arthur obsessing over what he thinks is an actual robot. Like that's weird.

Because the entire premise and Arthur’s behavior in general is already insane

Actually, it's more realistic than you'd think.

With the rise of LLMs and AI, more and more people are having "relationships" with AI and yes people are catching feelings, unfortunately. It's not ideal but it's a thing that's happening, that's why I think it's not super farfetched, especially as far as anime go.

I mean people end up getting very attached to chatGPT that its become a problem. There was a whole ordeal when 4.0 upgraded to 5.0 and people "lost" their chat history.

Shit sometimes I go "aw" when the roomba get stuck man.

If a robot was actually as lifelike as Marie is being, it would effectively be a person in terms of social relationships. If it speaks and thinks and you speak and think, then of course that can potentially develop in romantic feelings.

Shit I think there was some unethical experiments in the 60s of baby monkeys preferring a wireframe person over sources of food. Like animals can form attachments over the inanimate.

I'm not denying that. I'm mentioning nobody else mentioning it.
