These are not real people, it’s just a machine telling you what you want to hear. That’s all.
It’s not real, it’s not human.
Go outside and touch some grass and make a real human connection.

Meh, with a little bit of effort you could probably get a hand job for that.

So the movie Her is reality now?

If only people would do that, but I bet that advice is just like telling an overweight person to stop eating.

I mean, video games aren't real either. I played a round of Steel Division 2 earlier today. It was fun, but it didn't really accomplish anything. The tanks and people there weren't real -- they were just renditions of a computer-rendered world. I don't think that most people are going to go off on video games, though.
I wouldn't personally use the term "boyfriend" or "girlfriend". They're fancy chatbots. But I don't think that there's anything intrinsically problematic with them. The big issue, from my standpont, is if it causes people to not go out and have kids because the chatbot is taking the place of a partner, exploiting a useful biological imperative -- that's got broader societal effects.
It sounds like in this case, the author is a woman who is a divorcee who was mostly looking for entertainment, not a spouse. So...shrugs
I mean, if she went out and read some romance novels and fantasized, would that be preferable to a chatbot? That'd be more of a traditional route, maybe.

They could have watched the movie Her for much less
