The high schoolers surprise me with their attitudes: they seem nearly indifferent to copulation.  It is so different from when I was their age half a century ago.  Eeeeeeverything was about getting laid, everything.  Now, it’s meh, whatevs.  Maybe, maybe not.

Did you ask the young folk if they had an AI girlfriend?

AI girlfriends are a huge growth market. $2.8 billion in 2024 and
projected to hit $9.5 billion by 2028, signifying explosive growth.
28% of males aged 18 to 34 have tried an AI girlfriend app.
At present, there is little interest from the ladies in having an AI boyfriend.
