Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I tell you what.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Gen Zers are falling in love with robots, what they
are finding a deep emotional bond with AI, and we're listen,
says eighty three percent of them.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Eight that's a lot of gen Zers. That's you.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
You're telling me that eighty three percent.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Yes, the majority, the majority, way over the majority gen Z.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
No, what they're saying is they can form a deep,
a deep emotional bond with AI.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Eighty three Well, I kind of get that.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I still don't get that deep emotional bond was something
that doesn't technically emotionally exists.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
If I hop on like chat GPT, if I ask
it a question, I'm always very very nice and polite,
and then it's very very nice and polite to me.
But I've seen some people who are rude to chat GPT,
and then it'll be rude back to them.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I would neither.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
The robot overlordst talks, But not just that.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
No, I think you got to go back to the
days of Pong, and the days of of Donkey Calling
and Mario Brothers and all those times that you were
spanking those little you know, those little video games. They're
all gonna get Yeah, but if you're if you're the
loser and you sucked, it's gonna feel sorry for you.
You're gonna be the only one left on earth, you
know what I mean. You can't conquer it.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
If you're bad at video games, you will.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Be You'll be fine if you're good. If you're good,
that's how they get you. Does that not make sense?
But they're having an emotional bond with these things, right,
eighty three percent of them a bunch even considered eighty
percent of gen zers your generation, Sam say they'd marry
one if it were legal.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
What what yeamp?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
What? People are married vacuums, people married chandeliers. I mean
they have society.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
People are gonna go to church.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Dang got me Jesus, thank you. They don't mind.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I'm saying, Hey, God, that room over there, this one.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
You gotta people.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
People got to see the light and understand that like
the companionship that you get and the just this is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Well even well you can make it, say what you want.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
So of course they're going to fall in love with
something that has the same interest as they do and
the same.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
That they'll have complete and entire control of yes, yes,
that's what it's all about too. Is complete an entire control.
You think that'd be any generation. You think that'd be
Baby Boomers more than anything.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
But they just didn't have access to it. Yeah, they
don't know how to use it, but it totally makes sense.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Doubs, You're so right. It's like, of course you're going
to fall in love with AI.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
It is understanding you, learning about you every single time
you interact with it, and it's going to tailor its
responses to be perfect to you.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
So of course you're going to fall in love with it.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Three quarters of your generation, that is box, No, this
is is what I'm about to say. Seventy five percent
of the gen zers think that AI partners will eventually
and could potentially fully replace human companionship.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
That's scared.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
That's I know I shouldn't like over use the word literally,
but that is literally going to lead to the downfall
of ours.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
It's the matrix I mean, is that where they first
sat AI artificial intelligence, and it was it was forecast
a long time ago. I mean this has been going
on for this started a long time ago. Terminator, I mean,
I mean, we tell me that's overused I mean we
all know that. I mean back in the eighties, and
Terminator came out Matrix after that, you know, and then
(03:27):
this guy, the guy, one of the guys that was
really behind AIY is the guy that says, I'm ducking out.
I can't this is getting too scary. I don't want
to do this anymore.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Well that was kind of like the guy back in
uh in Terminator when he found out that what was
going on in the future, he couldn't torch that place
fast enough. Hmm, a little too little, too late.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
This is just could you imagine your child coming home
and going, this is my girlfriend and then they just
hold up their phone.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Kind of the way it is now in a c
our boyfriend or whatever. I mean, they have a deep
relationship with yeah, their phone, their phone and everything that's
on it.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
It's just it's so sad because think about how enriched
your lives are from the person that you have fallen
in love with, chosen to live your life with your spouse.
It's like there is so much value there, not only
in the companionship, but just you learn a lot about yourself,
and you grow and you figure out how to communicate properly.
With someone who's not yourself and.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Who's real and who's real flesh and blood.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Yes, and has their own hopes and wants and dreams.
But then AI is just going to tailor itself to you,
and that's just it's you're not learning anything from that,
You're not going to grow from.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
That makes the sense you've ever made in the history
of making sense.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
That's shocking.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
No, no, really, no, it is. So you always make sense.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
You're very good. Yeah, I mean you're just agreed. Well
you know that we give each other crap in here,
but you wouldn't be on here if you didn't make
all the sense. You just that's really you always make
so much good sense.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah, I just make it because you just.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Talked me out of Like, if anything were to happen
to Steph, like my robotic vacuum would be the closest things,
Like it's gonna I kind of have a relationship with
it a little bit. It's like it does such great work.
Once we got through the issues we got through. We
had some issues early on in the relationship with my
(05:14):
vacuum when.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
You had to have like fixture map.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Well, no, all the map was fine. It was it
wasn't sucking the way I like it to suck. That
didn't sound good.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I didn't mean it. Well, it wasn't. It was like
it needed the setting need.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Once I figured out and downloaded some firmware, some new firmware,
uh huh, then it got a little better at the
sucking because it's a wet what is it, a wet vac.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
This isn't good, but it's really that little thing.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
It would come out of the thing and it's like
comes over and greets me first, like Aaron does. It's like, hey,
don I'm going to your floors.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I'm like, hey, go ahead, you just do what goes
under my.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Feet and it's like excuse me, and it goes around
it like watches out for the cords and it just
kind of does its little thing that I feel a
little bond with it. I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Of course you do. But that's that's part of the
I'm not going to bang it, OK, thank goodness.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
I just I was just like holding his mouth shut
over there.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I just what I'm not and I'm just not, well,
you're not desperate yet yet. I just think that I
don't know. Of course, you love your robot vacuum. It's
subservient to you and it cleans your house.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
It's glorious.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
It does whatever you want at the click of a button.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I like it more than my kids.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
It's like the jetson's over.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, my kids they get they're back from school now
and they're just leaving. It's like welcome. It's like it's
like a resort to them. They come in and they
just lay waste to everything, and it's like, obviously our
parenting must have sucked because they were so good when
they were younger. Now it's just plates out, cast iron
pans in the sink with water and I'm just waiting. Yeah.
(06:57):
It's like, I know, people, you know, we're gonna have
to lay the law down. We gave him till today
because yesterday was their last exam, so we're gonna make
sure they get their exam, by the way, and then
today we're gonna I think we're gonna lower the boom.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah, now you get the whips out. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
And by the way, Sam, I know you're listening. He
gets up early and it works for his grandmother. You
don't tell Jamo any of this, dude, I'm gonna kick
your little Fanny James buddy, she's twenty. I could say
that he reports stuff that we talked about early in
the morning to jameis.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Oh my gosh. Funny.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, so there's a text going to jail when you
wake up out of the house.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Oh totally.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
I got an arclee stitches Sam.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And it's hard to say that because I remember the
kid when he was like eight years old.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
He's not eight years old.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah no, they're just gonna have to have a little
little understanding, little come to Jesus meeting. Okay, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yeah, yeah, let's go beat up some kids. Put the
show on pause.
Speaker 1 (07:50):

Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
