Cyrano de Chatbot.

At some point, one wonders I'd the chat both won't actually become preferable to the actual live men.

Let's face it, there are. Most likely already a significant number of women who prefer a sex Droid loaded up with a conversational chat bot. Especially as more women enter the field and these AIs figure out how to talk TO people instead of AT them.

Men whonuse chat bots to date women are just teaching women there are better options out there. They're training their own replacements.
