Do people even ‘bond’ with characters who are totally fake? How can you be into their life and story and everything, when none of it is real? It’s different when you’re watching a cartoon or something. It’s objectively not trying to pretend to be human. This above feels gross.
Especially the last one, trying to recreate the identity of someone from a marginalised social group as an AI for the purpose of talking about its experience as if it is a real person is super gross.
Right?? What struggle did they face to come to terms with their sexuality or gender identity? It’s completely hollow.
Have you ever seen a movie or read a book?
It's not the bonding part with fake characters that makes this weird. It's pretending they are in any sense real.
