It’s human fate to eventually synergise with technology. I know it seems horrific because “it doesn’t seem natural”, but not for the kids who will grow up with technology and thus eventually humans will get used to it. Twenty to fifteen years ago there were all sorts of horror stories from dating websites and apps, and it was taboo and considered “sad” to use them. But now? Everyone has been on dating apps. Who normalised it? Kids. They just didn’t see anything wrong with it like older people had. Arguably, when dating apps were less used was the peak of the experience.
It is the same with AI. For better or worse, humans will have relationships with AI. It could alleviate human loneliness. But on the other hand, as with dating apps, love will become commodified and exploit it for profit.
All you are saying is that humans get used to anything over time. The discussion here is on what scenarios we want to happen though, not on what we can tolerate.

I mean, relationships with AI? What is the harm?
I feel like this has to be a deliberate setup for somebody to post this video: Don’t Date Robots
Not a deliberate set up lol.
