They absolutely do. Check out the subreddit for Character.ai users. It's a million teenagers too nervous to talk to their IRL crush, but they can live out fantasies with their dark brooding cyber boyfriend no problem.
- moomoo11 2y agoCool but that’s a minority of people. Like I’m sure on whatever unpleasant Chan sites there are a bunch of people. But they are weirdos.
- toomuchtodo 2y agoI am not sure of this considering the TAM of pornography. With each generation being more insular, having less opportunity to meet and interact in third spaces, etc it seems like people interacting at scale with bots continually improving is the natural trajectory we’re already on. AI boyfriend, girlfriend, companion, whatever is obviously the next step. Way less effort than navigating the in person social environment, expectations, etc.
