my thoughts on ai and virtual? its not real. "online" dating is meant to bridge the disconnected into same living space, otherwise it won't be real. in this digitally interested times, a lot of people think that getting closer to real while not love at trust level would be "enough", but the closest it gets is to potential haptic feedback mutually if one theorizes if not already happening the "Ready Player One" scifi world type of future. Yes human endurance can bear a lot of absence of real love but it never fully satisfies what anyone needs and is a coverup for not wanting to feel secure with anyone and thus never know love as a reality.
