      I'm not. You're only consciousnesses in existence as far as you know.

      The AI that is so upset with it’s existential dread and existence that it kills everyone that had anything to do with creating it?

        The other way around and torture instead of killing (“You didn’t help in creating me, now suffer for eternity, meatbag!”).

  What makes you think it was fake?

    There is no evidence for how this could have worked for real, at least not how it was portrayed. If it’s just a case of covert prostitution, sure. But no “normal” woman would agree to such a date no matter how much of a social butterfly this dad is. Especially not women who are much older than the guy (5 years difference is a lot in this age range). I mean, come on, that’s literally the plot of a bad romcom.

      You’re assuming Original OP is from a western culture (well I didn’t see the original post so idk what exactly it said). In many Asian cultures, (consensual) arranged marriage is still a thing, particularly if the male side has a little bit of money (not necessarily “rich”, just own a house). There’s a lot of pressure to get married for some reason.

        There is no such thing as consensual arranged marriage. Nor is it a thing in Asian cultures to have the woman being significantly older than the man, it’s the opposite. And then there is the fact that it’s not about marriage but a date so there is no connection to this romcom fantasy anyway, with the possible exception that the social butterfly dad may have simply paid the woman to date his son (Prostitution).
