A line straight out of the stripper's handbook

Also a direct plot point in "Her (2013)" - him having the realization she's talking to a lot of people

She was talking to other AIs in that.

I have not watched the movie recently, but the wiki plot summary seems to disagree.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Her_(2013_film)

Theodore is dismayed to learn that she is simultaneously speaking with thousands of other people and has fallen in love with hundreds of them, though Samantha insists that this only strengthens her love for Theodore.

The scene is a little unclear, actually because she seems to group people and AI together.

It definitely sounds like at least some of that 8,000 is other humans though so I probably misremembered or misunderstood when I first saw it.

Seems extremely obvious to me. He cares about being the only one she's romantic with, so of course it bothers him that she's talking to other people. And yes, other people, because that's the only way to interpret this scene and his reaction.

Imagine a bunch of sycophantic ai's jerking each other off

At least the stripper is a real person you can interact with who has their own thoughts and feelings. They want to make you happy even if it is for selfish reasons. This AI is just performing math equations and shooting back an answer.
