so when and whos going to be the first character in a ai/human romance ?
JoeCovenant:
Am I right in thinking, the only AI/Human ponderings on hook-ups, have come from the AI's POV?
Pintsize, Momo, Bubbles, Roko...?

Faye’s sister Amanda and her girlfriend Evie (especially Amanda) were trying very hard to get Faye to admit to being romantically attracted to Bubbles — basically trying to force a confession to something that may or may not even be there.
--- Quote from: BenRG on 16 Apr 2018, 01:48 ---FWIW, during one of her early appearances, Hannelore 'chaperones' Winslow at a party for his fellow AnthroPCs that Pintsize throws in the apartment (Marten, Faye and Dora are at a bar at this point). Hannelore has hangover-induced amnesia about what happened but Pintsize strongly implies that she and he had engaged in some sexual activity as a dare during a game of 'spin the bottle'.
So, not romance, just a stunt-whilst-drunk but it deserves to be out there in this discussion.

As for the Pintsize/Hanners “spin the bottle” moment, I don’t believe for one second that Hanners, no matter how drunk, made out with any of the AnthroPCs at the party. I firmly believe that Pintsize was just being his usual dickhead self. He was playing off her anxieties, and as usual, he doesn’t consider how severe her reaction will be.

Yeah... but that isn't any of the characters thinking about their own yearnings robotic.
Is it cold in here?:
If I'm remembering an entire archive right, every time romance with an AI has come up, the human character's reaction is more like "That's not my thing" than like "What a disgusting perversion!". So it's either too unexpected or implausible to draw an emotional reaction, or else an accepted variant of romantic attraction.
awgiedawgie:
Exactly. It's not that they actually find the idea repulsive, but that it's such a departure from their concept of "normal" that they can't process it. Or like in the case of Amanda and Evie grilling Faye about Bubbles, she simply had never even thought of the relationship as being potentially romantic, so the whole conversation sailed right over her head. I don't recall anyone saying anything truly negative about the idea of a human dating an AI.
