Listening to you describe this exchange was a little chilling! As if people don't have enough to be on guard about in regard to online dating, now AI is setting people up on alleged dates via a "simulation" without any kind of a disclaimer that it is a simulation... YIKES!

Yeah, I don't think that bot would've ever disclosed it was all fake if I hadn't called it out. I find this so so so disturbing.

Dang! I’m 71 and still look at Facebook dating sometimes, and it sounds like it’s a good thing I don’t trust AI. Lol! Murderbot indeed.

That experience seems to fit the current admin’s goal of messing with our heads to keep us off balance and not trusting ourselves. Manipulative and abusive, really.

Right?? I’ve been mulling how to write about this (beyond my initial WTF IS HAPPENING first thoughts), and this all feels connected, doesn’t it?
