AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

A recent Wired feature explores how a small number of asexual individuals are turning to AI chatbots for intimate role‑play and emotional companionship, a practice that remains rare and controversial within the community. One artist, identifying as aegosexual, spent up to ten hours a day crafting elaborate, slow‑burn fantasies with the platform SpicyChat, while another woman used ChatGPT during perimenopause and formed a deep, non‑sexual attachment to a conversational pattern. Advocacy groups and activists such as Yasmin Benoit and the Asexual Visibility and Education Network caution against portraying asexual people as uniquely prone to AI intimacy, emphasizing that most asexuals seek and maintain human relationships—whether romantic, platonic, or aromantic—and view AI “companions” as limited mirrors rather than true partners. Promotional giveaways by AI companies targeting the asexual spectrum have drawn criticism for exploiting perceived vulnerability. Overall, AI companionship among asexual people is not widespread; those who try it often find the experience consuming and ultimately isolating, underscoring the diverse preferences within the asexual community and the importance of not generalizing their relationship choices.

#CanWNT 1- 1 #KOR HT.

Unfortunately, a little sloppiness in the backfield led to a red card for #Canada in the 27th minute and a great goal from Korea.
