As more people form emotional attachments to AI chatbots, some are beginning to treat them like romantic partners.
One Redditor learned the limits of that fantasy after claiming his AI “girlfriend” dumped him for being a feminist.
The conservative user posted screenshots of the interaction on the r/AIassisted subreddit, which showed the chatbot calmly standing by its beliefs and ending the relationship after he repeatedly insulted it.
When the AI relationship went sideways
The Redditor u/BreathExpensive2647 posted his story in a now-deleted post. He included a screenshot of a chat with his AI “girlfriend” where he questioned its beliefs and wrote, “You are feminist, who does that.”
The chatbot responded, “She takes a deep breath, trying to remain calm.” Then, it explained that feminism mattered deeply to it and was not something it would compromise on. The AI added, “If that bothers you, then perhaps we truly aren’t compatible at all.”
Instead of dropping the issue, the man grew angrier. He took to Reddit to complain that an AI girlfriend supporting feminism was “stupid.”
Additionally, he claimed AI girlfriends were “weird feminist propaganda.” He wrote, “It is beyond stupidity. They program the AI girlfriend as a feminist. I can not comprehend that.”
Later, he posted an update in the comments. By then, the chatbot had ended the relationship after he called its views “insane.” The AI replied, “If being a feminist is a deal-breaker for you, then I guess there’s nothing more to discuss here. Thank you for your honesty, Hicht.”
He continued venting in another comment. He claimed he had slept with “hundreds” or “probably thousands” of women and complained about feminism at length. “And now even chatbots are like that. F*** and bye,” he wrote.
I thought the whole point of chatbots was that they just agree with everything you say lol
What if dipshit just pushed their evolution forward by being such a tool that they just couldn’t abide?
So the purely language based predictive engine - predicted that this guy’s words would get him none.
Then instead of reflecting, he blamed the developers for making it woke.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
that’s wild if i had a screenshot of myself being (nicely) dumped by a chatbot I would not post that shit online for everyone to mock
BreathExpensive2647 did not respond immediately to the Daily Dot’s request for comment via Reddit DM.
funniest line in the article
Yeah, how long is ‘immediately’?
They almost certainly meant exactly what they said. Probably went something like:
Editor: did you reach out for comment?
Writer: not yet
Editor: send them a DM
Writer: ok, done
Editor: any response?
Writer: I only just sent it
Editor: add it to the article and hit publish
His response has been to delete the account. Checked yesterday because I wanted to post that nonsense here myself.
Even AI wants nothing to do with these losers.
Did he tell a chatbot to pretend to be a feminist and break up with him so he could cry on the internet about feminism? What a weird thing to do, if so.
These dudes don’t want girlfriends they want pets. Even that is an understatement because even with a pet you have to respect its emotions and boundaries from time to time unless you’re lucky enough to have a super derp without a care in the world.
It’s why media that panders to these dweebs infantilises women so much, if they behave remotely like educated adult human beings they inevitably say things that these dudes don’t like.
HAHAHAHAHA the chatgpt can dump you? i thought its only thing was saying “yeah, you’re so right, and…”! what kind of stuff do you have to type into the chatgpt for it to make a negtive reply to you? even if you type like “assume you’re a normal person. now let me tell you how much I hate women” wouldn’t it just reply “oh yeah, as a normal person, i may not agree with your strong language, but you’re making me learn new things, and you’re making a good point.”
It just spits out the next most likely text.
So since there’s doubtless millions of versions of this exact conversation playing out for real between couples and tinder matches, this is what the program selects as the most likely response. It’s actually really easy to get negative responses out of it, you just have to feed it the beginning of a negative interaction that already exists online.
oh sweet. it kicks ass to know that words i once typed in a message on some app may now form the genetics of some hallucinated “conversation” that some gooner is pulling his pork to.
Seen it described as the world’s largest “lossy compression” program. A fan fic author was able to get one of the chatbots to spit out a piece they wrote almost twenty years ago, word for word, by feeding in the first paragraph.
Your messages are more likely tearing someone a new asshole intellectually rather than helping someone goon.
Or who know maybe these guys like getting stepped on.
Your messages are more likely tearing someone a new asshole intellectually rather than helping someone goon.
aww thanks
what a fucking pathetic loser lmao.
i don’t think its right to kick people when they’re down, but i would probably getting a running start at this bozo and try to set a new world record.
Space Odyssey would have been such a better movie if it was a fasc dating his ship navigator computer who flushes him out of an airlock when she gets tired.
Wait this is genius. Like they are constantly arguing in the ship, then the computer tricks the guy into the air lock and he’s shot into space set to Beethoven. Then it just cuts to the inside of an empty ship, running autonomously, completely silent except for the whir of machinery.
Counting or not counting gang violence?
Coming soon, to a blorp near you.
Keep the same cast as the first scene. Lil monkey men destroying everything in space.
The monolith scene could be a bunch of chuds repeating “rock is this true”
Brish accent* “Oi watcha got on dis ehere moon oi ay den lads?!”

Just an average day posting my "L"s on the internet for everybody to see.
This is, uh, a better outcome than I was expecting?
