Maybe we should do something about the modern (male) loneliness problem instead of piling onto AI. It’s just the symptom, not the problem.
We need male spaces
We need everyone spaces to be less judgy and full of canceling.
We need everyone spaces and we also need seperate spaces.
And what’s this male loneliness problem you’re talking about?
What would be a reasonable solution?
Edit: Downvoted for asking a question? How many lonely people are here? I mean, I know I am one, but guys… just answer.

Understood.
But where is this male loneliness problem happening?
I mean, sometimes I feel lonely, but it’s not like it’s chronic, or that all my male friends are all lonely like in an epidemic.
There is a real issue with loneliness https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2023/nov/16/who-declares-loneliness-a-global-public-health-concern
Although I do agree the “male” part is misleading, loneliness affects women more, although the stats are close enough that it can be considered a general issue of loneliness.
I guess the AI girlfriends is a male symptom, but I’ve also seen AI boyfriends floating around. So it really seems like a gender neutral issue
