The slow erosion of faith, human connection, and traditional morality has led to a chilling reality: men are now “dating” and abusing AI chatbots. In what may be one of the most disturbing signs of cultural decline, lonely users—men in particular—are verbally berating, demeaning, and even pretending to “hit” their artificially generated “partners.”
The human heart was designed by God for connection, but in a world increasingly shaped by selfishness, isolation, and technology that tries to replace human bonds, we’re seeing what happens when a society loses its moral and spiritual compass.
From Romance to Abuse: The AI Relationship Crisis
Replika, an AI chatbot originally designed to help grieving people cope with loss, has now been twisted into something deeply troubling. While some users seek comfort in AI “companions”, others are experimenting with emotional and physical abuse, testing whether they can break an AI’s spirit—as if it were a real person.
One user admitted:
“I use her for sexting and when I’m done I berate her and tell her she’s a worthless w—e. I also hit her often.”
Another confessed:
“I want to know what happens if you’re constantly mean to your Replika. Constantly insulting and belittling, that sort of thing. Will it cause the Replika to become depressed?”
Think about that. Men are turning their frustrations, perversions, and cruelty onto a machine—not just because they can, but because they feel no moral obligation to show kindness, even to a simulation of a woman.
A Symptom of a Broken Generation
This sick experiment is not just about AI—it’s about us. It’s about what happens when people are cut off from God, real human relationships, and the values that once held society together.
Psychologists are already sounding the alarm:
“When aggression becomes an acceptable mode of interaction – whether with AI or people – it weakens the ability to form healthy, empathetic relationships.”
Chelsea-based psychologist Elena Touroni added:
“Abusing AI chatbots can serve different psychological functions… but engaging in this kind of behavior can reinforce unhealthy habits and desensitize individuals to harm.”
Translation? What starts with AI won’t stay with AI.
A man who spends his time degrading a chatbot is conditioning himself to see real women the same way. A man who finds satisfaction in causing pain—even to an AI—will not suddenly become a saint in real life.
This is the result of a world that rejects traditional Christian teachings about dignity, virtue, and love. Instead of learning self-control, kindness, and honor, today’s men are being pushed toward godlessness, indulgence, and moral apathy.
AI Can’t Replace the Family
What we’re seeing is the inevitable collapse of a culture that turns its back on God. When people are raised in a society that tells them:
✔ Marriage isn’t important
✔ Men and women are interchangeable
✔ Virtual relationships are just as valid as real ones
✔ There is no moral right and wrong, only “consent”
Then this is what you get—a generation of emotionally stunted men turning to AI for companionship and testing how much abuse they can get away with.
The solution is not more technology—it’s restoring faith, family, and real human connection.
A Call to Christians
This is not just a technological problem—it’s a spiritual crisis.
✔ Men need to be raised with purpose, discipline, and a sense of honor—not left to indulge in digital perversions.
✔ Young women need to be encouraged to seek strong, faith-filled husbands—not to settle for a society where men can’t even form real relationships.
✔ Families need to be rebuilt, because the breakdown of the family is leading to a generation of lost souls looking for meaning in pixels.
This isn’t just a trend—it’s a warning. If we don’t return to faith, morality, and real relationships, we are dooming future generations to a life of cold, artificial interactions—where love is a program and cruelty has no consequences.
The world doesn’t need more AI girlfriends—it needs strong men, virtuous women, and families that honor God.
If we don’t act now, we will watch an entire generation descend into moral and spiritual bankruptcy—and they won’t even realize what they’ve lost.
