ecently, at a pub with a bunch of my friends who were gen X parents, the talk turned to young love. Most of their kids were in their late teens and early 20s, and embarking on their first relationships.
These gen X parents were a cohort that supported marriage equality and trans rights, not just for society more broadly but for their own children. And we all prided ourselves on being more progressive than the previous generation. Love is love.
“I know you are all very accepting of your children’s choices,” I said to the group. “But what if your child came home from university and said they had fallen in love with an AI?”
