These would be 20-year-old Emilia Nowa, "a journalism student [and] pop culture expert," who is "passionately following the latest trends in the world of cinema, music and fashion"; 22-year-old Jakub Zieliński, who's studying Acoustic Engineering at AGH (a Kraków university); and rounding out the three was 23-year-old Alex, a former psychology student who is "socially engaged, passionately discussing topics related to identity [and] queer culture."

Do people even ‘bond’ with characters who are totally fake? How can you be into their life and story and everything, when none of it is real? It’s different when you’re watching a cartoon or something. It’s objectively not trying to pretend to be human. This above feels gross.

Especially the last one, trying to recreate the identity of someone from a marginalised social group as an AI for the purpose of talking about its experience as if it is a real person is super gross.

Right?? What struggle did they face to come to terms with their sexuality or gender identity? It’s completely hollow.
