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

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.
