> How is my real boyfriend supposed to feel about an AI boyfriend?

Probably relieved. Having someone doing the listening and thoughtfully responding reduces his romantic workload. He can step in where the AI is weak: flesh based tasks such as sex and menial chores.

Your real boyfriend may have to use AI assistance of his own though, to keep up with your virtual beau. For instance he might deploy a LLM trained to talk dirty during sex.

I wonder if AR goggles will someday allow you to replace your partner with your AI lover so they can borrow their body to interact with you physically. Maybe your partner could even have an AirPod or something that receives instructions from the AI on what they need to do. Could be fun for everyone involved!
This seems so dystopic. Why augment your partner? What happens when kids enter the equation?
