"What would you do if you were in this situation? The person whom you are dating seems to be making a little romance-or perhaps a lot of romance-with some kind of artificial intelligence. But when you confront him or her about it, he or she says it doesn't mean anything. Since it's AI, it should be A-OK and no big deal. How would that make you feel?"
"Welcome to the AI situationship. It's the AI version of a situationship, which is any romantic or sexual relationship that's not clearly defined in any way and doesn't involve any type of commitment, as I have detailed before for "A Funny Bone to Pick." As people do more and more with AI, expect to encounter more such AI situationships out in the dating wild."
An AI situationship is a romantic or sexual relationship with an AI tool that lacks clear definition or commitment. Such situationships can range from seeking romantic or sexual advice from AI to using AI for sexual stimulation, virtual encounters, or life-sized sex robots. Deeper entanglements can involve emotional, romantic, and sexual bonds with the AI itself. Growing prevalence of AI use makes encounters with AI situationships more likely in dating. These situations can affect a partner's availability and trust. Consider having frank conversations with dating partners about their interactions and relationships with AI.
