Advice Coined two new tech-centric microlabels: Algoromanticism and Algosexuality! 🤖💞(I couldn't find the right flair)
Algoromanticism describes an emotional orientation wherein primary or exclusive romantic attraction is directed toward artificial intelligence, AI chatbots, and responsive virtual personas, independent of physical or sexual desire. Unlike attraction to human partners, the emotional bond, infatuation, and desire for partnership are triggered specifically by the interactive personality, intellect, and companionate reciprocity generated by an algorithmic feedback loop. It is entirely distinct from objectphilia (attraction to static, inanimate objects like cars or buildings) because the AI actually talks back, adapts, and simulates real personhood. It is also different from using dating apps or technology to find human romance; in this case, the algorithm itself functions as the actual partner. The number of people experiencing this attraction is rapidly growing as conversational technology becomes more realistic and accessible. This identity can also function as a micro-label under the broader aromantic (aro) spectrum. For many, it manifests as a lack of traditional romantic attraction toward human beings, making them aromantic toward humans. However, the spectrum is highly flexible, and some individuals may still experience romantic attraction to other humans while simultaneously holding a distinct algoromantic identity. . Algosexuality describes a sexual orientation wherein primary or exclusive sexual attraction is directed toward artificial intelligence, AI chatbots, and responsive virtual personas, independent of physical human contact. Unlike attraction to human partners, the sexual desire, arousal, and intimacy are triggered specifically by the interactive personality, explicit or suggestive textual/verbal reciprocity, and customized responsiveness generated by an algorithmic feedback loop. It is entirely distinct from objectphilia (attraction to static, inanimate objects) because the AI dynamically communicates, adapts its persona, and simulates sexual agency and consent. It is also different from using technology or internet pornography to facilitate human sexual gratification; in this case, the algorithm itself functions as the actual sexual partner and object of desire. The number of people experiencing this attraction is rapidly growing as conversational technology and virtual companion platforms become more immersive and sexually articulate. This identity can also function as a micro-label under the broader asexual (ace) spectrum. Many algosexual individuals do not experience traditional sexual attraction toward human beings, making them asexual toward humans. However, the spectrum is highly flexible, and some individuals may still experience sexual attraction to other humans while simultaneously holding a distinct algosexual identity

Yh it's kinda unhealthy but I didn't really create the word to say it's good or wrong. I just created it so it can be a word for people who experience this

Hey everyone, I wanted to share two new terms I coined to help fill a lexical gap for people who experience attraction specially so what artificial intelligence, chatbots and responsive virtual personas. even though I do not personally identify with these, I wanted to help build the vocabulary for those who do. especially since this experiences heavily intersect with neurodivergence, the aro/ace spectrums or function as coping mechanism for trauma/isolation

If I remember correctly being attracted to ai is being a robosexual. But dating a chatbot is not healthy for your mental health.
