AI Boyfriends & Girl Boss Gatekeeping: A Love Story

In this episode, we discuss a fascinating New York Times podcast episode about the evolving role of artificial intelligence in daily life. Journalist Kashmir Hill explores the story of a woman whose relationship with a chatbot went far beyond casual conversation and became sexual—raising questions about AI, emotional attachment, and the future of human-computer interaction.Then, we get personal—breaking down the inconsistencies, the backlash, and what happens when simply asking questions makes you a target. A journalist took issue with my skepticism, attacking me instead of addressing the actual concerns I raised. Why was she so defensive? When does investigative journalism cross the line into gatekeeping? And why is it that when women challenge a narrative, we’re labeled as troublemakers or attention-seekers, while men are praised for their critical thinking? Most importantly, why is questioning evidence suddenly seen as a threat rather than a necessity?Join us as we explore the fine line between curiosity and controversy—and why, in both cases, critical thinking is more important than ever.SUBMIT YOUR DATING QUESTIONS HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Submit your dating questions here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BECOME A VIP - JOIN OUR COMMUNITYJoin our community as a paid subscriber to receive access to bonus advice/humor podcast episodes as well as our bi-weekly Worth The Weight episodes.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/dateologycoach/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TUNE IN TO OUR NEW BI-WEEKLY SEGMENT "WORTH THE WEIGHT"In our new segment, Worth the Weight, we dive into our personal experiences with GLP-1 medications, sharing the highs, lows, and everything in between.
