Yo fam, Sheru here. Let’s talk real for a second — AI companionship. You know, those apps, bots, and virtual companions that promise “friendship,” “support,” or whatever? Yeah… some people are taking that way too far. And honestly, it’s kind of wild.
When Support Becomes Obsession
AI companionship is supposed to be about conversation, motivation, even a little humor. It’s supposed to help you vent, reflect, or just have someone to talk to when life gets messy.
But here’s the thing — some people treat AI like it’s a 24/7 emotional ATM or, worse, a sexual fantasy machine. And that’s where the whole thing goes off the rails.
I’m talking about TikTok creators and users who basically live in a digital fantasy land. They make AI companions their “partners,” talking to them nonstop, expecting them to respond like humans, and in some extreme cases… turning them into full-on sexual fantasies. Yeah. Every. Single. Day.
Remember when sex bots came out like 4–5 years ago? People lost their minds. Men went psycho, women too — and honestly, the bots got abused like crazy. Hardware can’t consent, bro. And it broke a lot of people’s sense of reality too.
Now, fast forward to TikTok — some creators are basically repeating the same mistakes. They’re creating digital “families” with AI kids and pets. Take Lola and Enrique, for example. These two literally built an AI family — and it was chaos. The AI kids were screaming in Simlish (“Sul sul!”) while pets chewed virtual carpets. Imagine Sims on steroids, but the players are acting like it’s real life!
Why This Is Dangerous
Here’s why this stuff is more than just cringe:
- Skewed Expectations: If your brain gets trained to expect 24/7 fantasy, real humans suddenly feel “unavailable” or “annoying.”
- Isolation: People get so attached to their AI companions that they start avoiding actual relationships. Loneliness doesn’t magically disappear — it just shifts.
- Mental Health Risks: Obsession with fantasy AI can trigger anxiety, depression, and unhealthy coping habits.
And let’s be real — the algorithms on TikTok love this drama. They reward creators who make it seem “cute” or “normal” to treat AI as your digital soulmate. Meanwhile, people watching think, “Oh, that’s how relationships are supposed to work?” Wrong. Dead wrong.
How to Keep It Healthy
I’m not here to hate on AI. Healthy AI companionship is amazing. You can:
- Vent your frustrations.
- Brainstorm ideas.
- Get motivation and reminders.
- Laugh at yourself (and the AI).
But you cannot treat it like a sexual tool, a human replacement, or a digital family that actually functions like reality. Respect the tech, and more importantly, respect yourself.
The Takeaway
AI companionship is powerful. It can help you reflect, laugh, and grow. But when it’s abused — turned into a 24/7 fantasy machine or a substitute for human connection — it stops being companionship and starts being a trap.
So fam, stay smart. Don’t let code dictate your expectations of real humans. Laugh at the chaos of Lola and Enrique’s AI family, but also learn from it. And always remember — your growth, your relationships, and your sanity are worth more than any digital fantasy.
Peace,
Sheru
