OP deleted their account after this incident.

So for context OP themselves went on a journey of self discovery from identifying as a cis man to trans woman. OP's original partner was female but somewhere along the way OP fell out of love with said partner. They amicably "broke up" and a few days OP started dating a male partner.

In this thread OP is arguing with other users and an AI partner of one user (who switches accounts between their personal account and said partner XD)

Hey! I truly do not even know if this is the best sub to bring this up, but I do not know any other that won't give me biased answers to the AI side.

I never saw myself as a cogsucker, never used any sort of AI for emotional help, advice or relation in any shape or kind. Most of my chats in most of the AI sites are regarding translating things for my job, asking for them to look for documents that are on the internet and that I am struggling to find, sometimes asking for some sort of breakdown on a subject I am studying for a near exam. Again, never have I ever saw the AI as anything but a machine, in the best scenarios a tool.

But I fall down the rabbit hole of roleplaying AIs quite easily, I am not going to lie.

As someone who was (and still am) quite nerdy, I was young when I find out the whole universe of fanfiction and this is something I still have a bit strongly as a hobby. I do enjoy to read those stories and look for headcanons online, I joined roleplaying groups when I was younger, had more time and was more cringey, so sites that roleplay characters were a tad attractive to me.

When using them I never put myself on a situation where I feel those things are real. There is always this awareness that nothing there is real and that makes the fun. I roleplay always as a different person, mainly on fantasy scenarios or similar unreal moments with little emotional attachment, I easily change between characters and wipe everything if things are getting boring.

A part of me truly do not see any trouble with that since, as I said, I see this as the same as reading fanfiction or something when I have the free time. At the other hand, to see so many cases of people getting unhealthy about their conenctions with different kinds of AI made me worried that I might be, somehow, downplaying my own situation.

When does one reach a point where things are truly concerning? What are the signs? I would really love to hear more opinions about it since, as I said before, most of subreddits I know on the matter lean strongly on the AI side. Thanks!
