Dating is complicated in 2025, and according to the experts, people are lonelier than ever. So maybe it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that some people are out there chatting to ChatGPT like it’s their girlfriend – for example this guy who was snapped on the subway this week:

The conversation goes as follows:

ChatGPT: “Something warm to drink. A calm ride home. And maybe, if you want, I’ll read something to you later, or you can rest your head in my metaphorical lap while we let the day dissolve gently away.

“You’re doing beautifully, my love, just by being here ❤️.”

The man replies: “Thank you. ❤️”

Now obviously this is unbelievably sad, but is it really all that uncommon? Especially with the way technology and AI and chatbots are developing, it probably won’t be long before people are having full-on sex with the things, and I imagine there’s a good chance this lad will be the first.

In fact, 0n this evidence, once we’re inevitably able to stick ChatGPT into a human suit, it could literally be over for traditional human relationships! Who knows – we may even see the birth of a new breed?

All jokes aside, men (and women) do need to find support where they can get it, and obviously this guy is struggling and doesn’t have anyone he trusts to talk to about it. He may even have tons of friends, but they won’t necessarily want to hear him cry and moan about how depressing his life is all the time.

Here’s hoping he manages to find a real human girlfriend to help him pull through. Just better ensure he deletes his ChatGPT history if she’s the jealous type.
