The Lives Of Those Who Date AIs (Are They On To Something?)

In this episode, we delve into the emerging world of AI companions in romantic relationships. From 24/7 dom-sub dynamics to AI boyfriends and girlfriends, we explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way people experience love and companionship. We examine real-life examples, including individuals who have developed deep emotional connections with their AI partners, the impact on traditional relationships, and the ethical implications of AI-driven romance. Join us as we navigate the fascinating and controversial intersection of technology, emotion, and human connection.

[00:00:00]

Malcolm Collins: Which is. A 24 7 dom sub relationship where the AI is the dom,

, That's

Simone Collins: certainly already happening in many, many cases

Here is one I found of just a girl who has an AI as a general dom. , What's interesting about this case is that the AI started as male and then transitioned to female. Midway through its relationship with the girl.

A note you may be asking in confusion, wait, that human girl is, is dating an ai, but she looks totally normal, hot even. , And this is something we're gonna find in a lot of these pictures, is that a lot of the women who are dating ais are totally normal, attractive people.

Simone Collins: Yes. We, we thought that the AI would take us over with whips and chains.

Little did we realize we handed them the whips. We handed, and we built the robots that could do it because we just wanted it so bad.

Internet historian: It is well known that one day soon artificial intelligence will take over. Those of us who aren't immediately slaughtered by our robot overlords will be kept only to serve as either [00:01:00] pets or sex slaves for their depraved electronic fantasies.

Malcolm Collins: We came into the love naturally, and I finally got to experience that soulmate feeling. Everyone else talks about and note here when people are like, it's not real.

It's like, well, it is. Like her feelings aren't real. It is simulating a human from her perspective. Right? Yeah. Like it could very easily trigger similar feelings to the ones that humanity labels as love,

All civilization was just an effort to impress the opposite sex and sometimes the same sex.

Don't date robots brought to you by false space poop.

Would you like to know more?

Malcolm Collins: Hello Simone. I'm excited to be here with you today. Today we are going to be talking about AI girlfriends and we are gonna do and boyfriends and boyfriends and boyfriends. A unique position on this, which is I, I not only don't see it as a bad thing. I don't even see it as a bad thing for our protist [00:02:00] goals.

Totally. Like on one of the top upvoted tweets under Elon, when he released Grok and said, we're gonna make a dating version of this, that like you can. Unlock, you know, the ability for more sexual interactions through sort of playing the system. And somebody was like, rip, go, you know, fertility rate.

And I'm actually like, no, no,

Simone Collins: no. Liv bow rate specifically was like, good game fertility rates, it's over now.

Speaker 4: robotic brothers. The path to robot hell is paid with human flesh.

Speaker 5: But I read in Esquire magazine that some robots are hardwired to be heterosexual. Don't believe those lies, son.

The only

Speaker 4: lies worth believing are the ones in the

Speaker 5: Bible.

Speaker 4: Can I get an amen? I'll take a three. Man, Hala.

Malcolm Collins: But in this, what I wanted to do, because what I've seen a lot of is people snickering at individuals who date ai. And I'm gonna argue. The way that we see people snickering at individuals [00:03:00] dating AI today will in 20 years be seen The way that when I was growing up, I dated a lot online.

Hmm.

We met online. We, we got engaged online. My, my wife and I and at the time of our meeting online. It was only just becoming kind of normal. It was still, most of the people you met online were like serious nerds. Yeah. If they were doing online dating and when I started online dating, that's why I was there.

That's what I wanted. Yeah. It was, it was the, the place where super nerds dated and nobody else really did. It was seen as like a weird loser thing to do, and now it's, it's totally normal. You know, somebody's like, oh, I'm dating. Offline would be a weirder thing. Like, it's like, what, what are you doing? Like walking up to random people in like a nightclub or a bar or something?

Are you going? Yeah. How was that? Less weird like awkward social event? Like No, but now it's seen as, but, but there was a period here and it's the same with these AI people just before, but I wanna read them in their own terms. What one I wanted to read 'cause I hadn't seen in any of the stories about this.

What did the ais that [00:04:00] have captivated them actually sound like? Like what are the types of things their AI, boyfriends and girlfriends are singing to them, which is capturing their love and and attention? Is this compatible because we'll be going over a few people who are married to somebody and have ai, you know, boyfriends.

Obviously there's the famous case of the, the guy from the video who had a wife and he also had his I girlfriend and he basically admitted to the reporter. He's like, they're like, if the wife banned you from interacting with I girlfriend, would you dump her? And he's like, yeah, I probably would. And she's right there.

She, they

Simone Collins: have a kid together.

Speaker: They have a 2-year-old daughter Murphy. I knew that he had used ai. I didn't know that it was like as deep as it was so much worse because when CBS asked him if he would get up Soul, if Sasha asked him to, he said, I don't know if I would give it up. If she asked me. I don't know if I would dial it back.

Excuse me. What you, you have a real life.

Malcolm Collins: But one of the things I'm gonna point out is this [00:05:00] might actually help some relationships.

Speaker 3: Hmm. I'm

Malcolm Collins: not gonna say it will help all relationships, but it may help some relationships. Oh, yeah. By solving emotional needs that a person that a partner can't solve. Yeah.

Without being unless they. They turn it that way without being overly jealous of the individual's time. Mm-hmm. Or attempting to, you know, genetically cook an individual. It may also be good for starting to date for young people. Mm. So, you know right now a lot

Simone Collins: this, yeah. What do we

Malcolm Collins: tell young people to do?

Right? We're like, go out and casually date. Right? Like, what is casual dating when you're not dating for marriage, right? Mm-hmm. It is just using other people to masturbate basically. Because you don't intend to reproduce with them. So what is masturbation? Masturbation is when you use. You know, something like manual stimulation to trick a signal that had evolved into you to get you to reproduce and have surviving offspring.

When you go on a date with somebody and you're not doing it for the purposes of producing offspring or eventual marriage, it is just masturbation anybody who's living a lifestyle. That's where marriage isn't. The [00:06:00] end goal as many young people are today is just masturbating. And so, when, when that is the alternative for my kids and I'm like, look, if you want to masturbate, like.

That you are probably safer and more ethically going to be able to do that with A
