I've watched people using dating apps, and I've heard stories from friends. Frankly, AI boyfriends/girlfriends look a lot healthier to me than a lot of the stuff currently happening with dating at the moment.

Treating objects like people isn't nearly as bad as treating people like objects.

Astoundingly unhealthy is still astoundingly unhealthy, even if you compare it to something even worse.

If there's a widespread and growing heroin epidemic that's already left 1/3 of society addicted, and a small group of people are able to get off of it by switching to cigarettes, I'm not going to start lecturing them about how it's a terrible idea because cigarettes are unhealthy.

Is it ideal? Not at all. But it's certainly a lesser poison.
