ke millions and millions of men are going to give the AI chatbot girlfriend thing a try. I think that almost all of them, maybe 80%, I'll say 80% are going to find hey this is pretty good and even compared to human women they're going to say you know what this is surprisingly drama-free and yet is still entertaining me and they will be drawn to it and might even get some dopamine out of it.

of the effect it has on people. That's the funny part. That he knows that it's making people who don't have a sense of humor react to it negatively and that makes the rest of us really amused. So he knows how most people who support him are going to react to it and they're just going to laugh. And it's funny because the president isn't supposed to say that sort of thing about anybody. And then I i…
