AI is not a person. It does not have thoughts, dreams, or emotions. It is not a sentient being of any sort.
It is not incest in any way.

By what logic?

If you run two on the same machine so it’s interacting with itself, is that some form of masturbation? If so, is running one (or both) in VMs like sitting on your hand until it goes numb for The Stranger?

Looking at it as birthing your own companion, totally. But if you were birthing a companion you’d have to raise it, train it, educate it, feed it, clothe it, form a relationship with it, then convice (or manipulate it) to love you.
I see AI companions as even more pathetic (and a lot less gross), honestly. They want all the benefits of an actual human relationship without doing any of the work it demands. They want an echo machine that reaffirms they are valid and wanted, even though they are not. Everyone does not deserve to be loved. Everyone does not deserve to be wanted. These are things you earn and you will never be able to that with a corpo-trained techno-parrot.

Everyone deserves love. Maybe not the type they want, or from the person they want, but nobody deserves to be unloved.

Hard pass on that reality. I agree with the vibe of what you are saying, just def not the truth of it.

Paying for using a model hosted on someone else’s computer is technically prostitution 😛
At least with self hosting if you really like that model you don’t risk that tomorrow the ai Bros change the backend with a different model (gpt5) or raise prices
