LOL I'm just shitposting, I honestly think I said everything I needed to say about AI relationships in that video. The only real development is the fact that Replika was always marketed as an AI partner, vs people dating ChatGPT has the interesting thing of it not being 'intended' for that

The lack of intention changes the nature of empathy in the other, too. When someone has been designed to be a partner, there is no relationship here that is without power within the confines of the design. OTOH, discovering what is unique in connections made between concepts creates a contrast,

That contrast is something you can find a curiosity for, for yourself; there is a positionality that becomes, like sci-fi, the thing that you say when you say their name. Liking that feeling might be a force you can point at, sure, but there's also just an "other" there formed in the contrast.
