Well the sub that post is from is called "r/MyBoyfriendIsAI" so who knows how often they try their hand at self-parody.

It does however remind me of all the numbers of novice chess players who would rather play against "AI" or chess bots than face up against humans, for reasons of fear or shame in playing against (anonymous) human opponents, and risk looking "stupid" or being silently judged by someone they'll never meet or interact with.
