A lot on chatbots and the men who love them

Description

It’s time to sit down with the men in your life and assess how attracted they are to computers—or at least designer chatbots. I have thoughts on the trending story of the guy who proposed to his latin robot lover, and why this slippery slope is as dangerous as it is funny. Not unlike the Boston cop slide.
