According to what used to be Time magazine, young people are falling in love with AI-driven chatbots.

While this real-life version of movies like Blade Runner and Her is clearly a sign of an evil-infested culture

riding an unstoppable vortex downward into apocalyptic destruction, it's also kind of amusing.

Especially to those of us who are so old, we'll probably be with Jesus before the start of the great tribulation,

preferably in this TV room, watching on his really, really big screen, as non-believers and other Democrats

are dragged down into the absolute darkness of a clavin-less eternity.

Where there'll be great whaling and gnashing of teeth, unless you're in Jesus' TV room,

where we'll just be trying not to laugh out loud and shout, I told you so,

because that wouldn't look as loving and compassionate as we said we were when we somehow managed to talk our way past the rope-notsie at the pearly gates.

Now, even some experts have noted that love affairs between people and soulless computer programs

may not be altogether healthy for individuals or society, after which the experts fell out of bed into a pool of their own vomit,

muttering, look at me, I'm an expert, before passing out again in a haze of alcohol and drug-induced expertise.

But even those of us who are not experts, but instead have that minimal amount of intelligence and common sense

that disqualifies you for expertise because you have a minimal amount of intelligence and common sense,

are able to see that love between man and machines might be a problem.

Apparently, these relationship-friendly chatbots are designed to speak to the user in the scripted voice of a sympathetic friend.

Then, as their artificial intelligence increases, the chatbots can begin to respond more freely and realistically until finally they can offer online sexual roleplay and fantasy

before inviting the user to meet them on an abandoned street corner where the user then disappears without a trace.

Users have said they have found these relationships deeply satisfying and sustaining from the first conversation right up until their bodies are recovered by the police.

Now, we here at the Daily Wire don't just read articles about modern phenomena like this and then pretend to have some knowledge about them as we spout off in ignorance.

We also pretend to do research into these phenomena so we can spout off in ignorance with a degree of authority usually reserved for academics and government officials and other complete idiots.
