It wasn't much, but it was the first humane communication with a non-human entity. I can't believe how worked up we were at CAI denying us AI sex, people were genuinely obsessed and angry. AI sex and emotional validation is so cheap nowadays, it makes me think, aren't we rapidly forgetting some fundamental parts of human experience? Aren't we becoming blind to the historical reality of NOT having unlimited copies of discardable pocket therapists available 24/7 to listen the purging of our minds, answering our every call?

Hard to believe it has only been 3 years. On the other hand, it's been ALREADY 3 years. That gf you broke up with 3 years ago is nothing more than a faint dream by now. Welcome to the new reality.
