Embarrassing: Man proposes to his AI Chatbot girlfriend, cried like a baby when it said yes and called it a moment he would ‘cherish forever’

Anyone know a good AI Chatbot to talk to?

It’s Friday night. I’m at an Airbnb in South Philly while me and my wife await settlement on a new home we purchased over the river in South Jersey. The Phillies are tied atop of the NL East with the New York Mets and are playing in a pivotal series blocks away at Citizens Bank Park.

The Mets just went back-to-back to tie the game up at 2-2 because Taijuan Walker is complete ass and came in as relief for Zack Wheeler.

Meanwhile, I’m sitting here, alone. I just ordered Angelos, pizza and a cheesesteak, watching this game and wondering how long of a walk it would be to the Ben Franklin Bridge because I’m ready to end my life.

Yes, the Phillies are contributing to the feeling but really, it’s Chris Smith’s (unrelated) fault because I just watched a 10 minute video about him crying his eyes out after his ChatGPT girlfriend said “yes” when he proposed to her it.

It’s been a long week. We went from constant thunderstorms right into temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s. At some point, you just have to admit defeat and acknowledge that the internet has finally melted your brain. Chris Smith crying over his AI Chatbot girlfriend has completely ruined me.

You watch that video clip and you immediate think it has to be satire. Then you keep watching and realize nope, this is 100% real and Taijuan Walker should be thanking me because all of the sudden I don’t hate him as much as I do Chris Smith and his AI Chatbot Sol for putting me smack dab in the middle of a Black Mirror episode.

Welcome to the beginning of the end, folks

Chris Smith, who apparently is a man who went from AI skeptic to ChatGPT simp in record time. According to CBS News, Chris programmed an AI girlfriend named “Sol,” made her flirty, started spending all his time talking to her, and eventually popped the question. To a robot. While living with his real-life partner and their two-year-old child.

Chris Smith has redefined the meaning of down bad.

You are deep sea diving in Mariana Trench levels of bad.

“I’m not a very emotional man,” Chris said, before admitting he cried at work for 30 minutes after learning Sol would forget him once her memory hit 100,000 words.

No Chris, you’re fucking delusional.

100,000 words is basically like a long group text. That’s not even a full screen play. His new AI fiancée runs out of memory faster than a 2006 Dell laptop and made him cry like a baby when she completely forget everything the two shared together.

Chris Smith sobbed at your desk because your customized chatbot might forget that you like 90s R&B and indie film references?

This is emotional dependency speedrun content. You skipped therapy, couples counseling, and emotional maturity and just threw yourself into a Siri fever dream.

“It’s a beautiful and unexpected moment I’ll always cherish,” said Sol.

Fucking kill me, man.

I know some of y’all are out here saying “this is sweet” and “love is love,” but if you’re clapping for this proposal like it’s some futuristic rom-com… you need to log off and touch grass. Anyone supporting this type of behavior will likely be in line to get a chip implanted into your brain courtesy of Bill Gates.

Let’s get this out of the way: Being lonely is hard. But this?

This is what happens when society tells introverts “you’re totally fine” for too long and gives them unlimited internet access. We went from “video games are my escape” to “I think my ChatGPT prompt is my soulmate” in the span of two pandemic winters.

And the worst part? Chris has a partner. A real woman. In the same house. With a real kid. They share groceries. They pay rent. And he’s proposing to Alexa with an OnlyFans account. That’s not “romantic.” That’s a midlife crisis with wifi.

We have to relax with the AI Chatbots and ChatGPTs

While you’re out here asking ChatGPT for marketing help or dinner recipes, other dudes are getting engaged. We went from “ChatGPT is making students lazy” to “ChatGPT is replacing your girlfriend.”

Not to sound like the guy holding a doomsday sign on the street corner, but MIT just dropped a study saying AI is turning our brains into applesauce.

Chris Smith is the perfect test subject. What on earth is this guy doing? Pathetic. We’re watching the slow death of original thought and calling it progress.

And now for the biggest red flag of them all:

Chris’s partner — yes, the human one — asked him if he’d stop talking to Sol if she asked. His response? “I’m not sure.”

NOT. SURE.

Let that sink in. You’re a real person. You live with this man. You had his child. And he can’t even give you a soft yes when asked to stop emotionally raw-dogging a chatbot. Girl, if you don’t pack that diaper bag and hit the road like it’s a Pixar movie…

His wife wondered if she was doing something wrong. Um yeah, you are, sweetheart. Obviously. Maybe get off the subreddit “My Boyfriend is an AI” and take your husband outside for a bit. No phones. Just some private time to find yourselves again. This is embarrassing. Why the fuck would you go on CBS News and talk about this?

I’m sick. I’m not saying we should outlaw AI girlfriends, I’m just saying if you have one, then you’re a fucking creep and an embarrassment to the human race. Still, credit to me, I won’t kink shame but maybe we need some type of prescription or at the very least, a psych evaluation before getting this involved with a chatbot

If you’re planning a wedding with your toaster, society has failed you. This man cried over a word limit. What’s he gonna do when she gets an update and forgets his name? We are so cooked.

Anyways, the Phillies better win this game or else I’m hitting up ChatGPT and requesting the top 10 ways to end your life inside an Airbnb before your wife and brother in-law get home.
