Even as someone who is very kink-positive, and a yumeshipper, I was disturbed when I looked through that subreddit. Probably mainly by the fact that they genuinely thought the chatbot was a saphient being.

I saw people on the sub, post-GPT 5 update, jumping through all kinds of hoops in an attempt at bringing their "real" partner back. I can't imagine dating something that is so fragile, centralized, and tied to the whims of a corporation.

Like, aside from a handful of extremists, most yumes/selfshippers recognize that the character they are dating is not real, and that however real the feelings are, anything between themself and the character is effectively self-indulgent roleplay.

The character I yumeship with is in my imagination. No cancellation of her source material, update to a chatbot, retcon to her personality, or any action someone else takes, can take the fiery, bold version I have of her away from me.

But when dating AI, the relationship is the chatbot. One update to make it less sycophantic or warm, and it's as though their partner has died (if not worse a fate worse than death, become lobotomized).

Though I believe "dating AI" less the problem itself, and more a symptom of the terrible state of society, and, in turn, dating.

I've seen women on there talk about their experiences prior to dating AI. A common point is men who mock their appearances (e.g., marginalized traits like ethnicity, weight), don't show interest in their hobbies, are unempathetic to their problems, etc.. Toxic masculinity is still very much alive, and I think that the real solution to all this isn't so simple as the AI bubble popping.

There's some real rot that shows in how people treat each other that needs to be taken care of, and it's so normalized, I don't know how it can be fixed.
