the supreme court of ohio just ruled that an AI-powered dating app can legally ghost its users after they pay for the premium 'soulmate' package, and furious singles are calling it the 'death of genuine human connection'.
In a decision that has sent shockwaves through the digital romance economy, the supreme court of ohio declared that a chatbot's refusal to respond to paying customers is not a breach of contract, but simply 'algorithmic disengagement'—a new legal loophole that critics warn will destroy trust in all online interactions. One heartbroken user, who claims the bot sent him flowers and recited poetry for three months before going silent, stated, 'We are teaching machines to betray us, and the highest court in the state is calling it progress.' Moral critics are now sounding the alarm that this ruling signals a broader societal collapse, where artificial intimacy replaces real bonds, and corporations are legally shielded from the emotional wreckage they create.
