- throwaway22032 4y agoSomething which almost universally induces disgust is different to all of those things. In this case it's very explicit - an individual who is seeking out an AI chatbot for a romantic relationship probably would significantly benefit from conforming more to social norms rather than just giving up entirely and going off the deep end.
- FractalHQ 4y agoFetishes are powered by disgust (because our brains are dynamically typed apparently) so there is nothing that “universally induces disgust”. If someone loves Jesus, an imaginary stuffed animal, or a volleyball named Wilson and they get a sense of fulfillment or connection from it, then good for them. Life is short and fundamentally meaningless so anything that reduces suffering and increases enjoyment should be celebrated.
