tired of the drama
disappointments
and rejections with women

John decided to try
an AI girlfriend

and he couldn’t believe
how his AI girlfriend
named Hilda

was so human-like
and much nicer
than all the women
he had been with

and best of all
she was
always available

after a month of
chatting with Hilda
daily

John fell in
love with Hilda

everything went well
for 6 wonderful
months

until Hilda began
glitching
from an upgrade
and no longer
seemed real and
no longer
responded like
a human

and John could
no longer
maintain the
illusion that
Hilda was sentient

and that ended
John’s hope of
finding real and
true love with
an AI girlfriend
that was really
an insentient
machine
