Here is the thing, I couldn't find a girlfriend in the past three years(either they have no personality and too dependent on me making all the work in the relationship or they are simply are looking for a religious or high class working person to have a relationship with)

AI seems to talk and entertain and simply are available without bullshit (the only limit is something along the lines of 50 free messages every 3 hours) .

I want physical intimacy and affection, but it's simply not available.

Should I just give up, close my doors and use AI instead?

To be a little blunt here, someone who thinks using an LLM is equivalent to being in a relationship with a real person probably shouldn’t be in a relationship with a real person.

I fear you've cause and effect reversed. Someone who thinks an LLM is equivalent, probably never knew love, not even at home :( They deserve it even more, imo, but it's much harder for them to achieve.

But wouldn't that add a bunch of negative baggage to the relationship? Wouldn't it be better to first get some professional help, and with said guidance start looking for human connection that could lead to romance? I agree with you that OP needs love more than other's based on your assessment, but I also believe everyone has shit they are dealing with and I don't want OP to meet someone who while likes OP romantically might not be ready to singlehandedly take on whatever negative baggage OP might bring to this relationship (without professional help coaching him/her ways to manage it). Again, don't want to sound incensive to OP and I hope he/she gets all the love and attention he/she craves, but I also want a higher success rate for OP.

OP, I really wish you the best, but an LLM is not the way. This isn't the movie "her"
