Like her need for him to answer reasonable questions? Why does the origin of the question pose a threat and why doesn't he give examples? He's like the rando poster who says 'hey guys I forgot the passcode to my iPhone, got a workaround for that?' okay buddy, so you stole a phone then.
Are you saying it would be preferable if she was given the same advice from a human or read it in a book? This guy cannot defend his point of view because it's probably not particularly defensible, the robot is immaterial.
Okay so you don't trust the robot to give relationship advice, even if that advice is identical to what humans say. The trouble is we never really know where ideas come from. They percolate up into consciousness, unbidden. Did I speak to a robot earlier? Are you speaking to a robot right now? Who knows. All I know is that when someone I love and respect asks me to explain myself I feel that I should do that no matter what.
