  1. This is pretty sad. And those taking advantage of people’s loneliness for money is wretched. 😔

  2. I would hate to be so lonely that I’d resort to this. Sad

  3. Mental sickness at it's finest.

  4. Black mirror material

  5. She need a dog.

  6. The snapchat Girl made $72,000 in a week. She charges $1 per minute for that stuff 😅😅

  7. The sketchy ads before the video make NBC appear less credible

  8. There’s nothing to understand, just don’t do stuff like this

  9. A new way to make some money..? 🤔

  10. Futurama predicated this

  11. I think it's safe to say that her (ex-boyfriend) was even less tangible than her current ai pacifier.

  12. OMG this is gut-wrenching. I am honestly scared what humans will transition into.

  13. I can understand having a full on conversation with AI. But intimate feelings for AI is beyond sad. They have no soul or free will 🤦

  14. De- population don't fall for it…… Not Real People

  15. I'm sorry, that woman was overweight and clearly depressed. I am not psychologist, but her confidence looks shot and probably feels like a man wouldn't want her. This is sad but very common nowadays and exacerbated by the lockdowns. It happens with guys too and even with girls who are not overweight.

    This is not a solutions to their problems. It is a band-aid that will come off eventually and probably leave them confused and empty on the other end

  16. I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Jake's reactions get meme-ed somewhere😂😂😂

  17. Just Sad… just hurts people think this kind of attention is okay or emotionally filing, get out in the world, human interactions and connections are a feeling that is unmatched🌎

  18. 😐😐😐😐😐

  19. Somebody give that girl a hug and some therapy.

  20. If this girl came into my hospital I would form her. Put her on a mental hold.

  21. Jesus Christ even the AI is transgender. We're fked

  22. That is freakin hilarious. Good god what have we become. I member hearing of a guy in China who had a whole virtual box thingy with a animated woman who would say hi 😂

  23. What a messed up world we live in. Smh.

  24. So tik tok has even influenced the AI?!? Great!!! We're all dead!

  25. This will take standard catfishing tactics to an extreme level 😂

  26. Increase in miss information, deep fakes, Birth rates going down, human connection is in the decline and the enviroment is getting punished all at the same time. Resources being consumed in an ever growing stream of consumption. Has any of this sophisticated technology truly helped us outside of modern medicine? Or has it all been distractions? We shame tribal people by calling them unintelligent and backwards but who are really the backwards ones? They have been living in balance with nature for thousands apon thousands of years. Free of all our modern societal illnesses and disease from pollution..and mental illness created by societal pressures.

  27. This is what is wrong with our country. We need to raise little boys as men and girls as women. This soyboy life we are creating is destroying AMERICA 🇺🇸

  28. Why is he wearing a dress?
