We haven't managed to really normalize anything outside of cis-hetero relationships yet and you're telling me we're gonna normalize relationships with a.i. in two years? Sure.
I know couples who are still embarrassed to admit they met over internet chats surrounding a game. An ex of mine met her husband in WOW 20+ years ago and they still claim their first meeting was a blind date despite she was in NY at the time and he was in Florida.
And I know people who express their same story proudly.
Anecdotes are fun!
I know some people who express their same story somewhere between ashamed and proudly...
People fervently believe what they desire, regardless of evidence to the contrary. It's a really annoying fact of human nature sadly few people are able to resist.
She wants it to be normalized so that her situation will be validated, and so she naturally believes it will be. Not an unusual behavior at all. Even scientists who should know better (fusion power within the next 10 years! GAI within the next 5 years!) are susceptible.
