Dating an LLM would be like dating a pathological liar.
Literally none of the words it produces have a single unit of honesty. Any true fact produced by Gemini is essentially coincidental, and must be tested and verified before application. I can't imagine a single person who knows how this stuff works being able to consider a "relationship" with one to be "real".
That companies mislead people about this tech to such an extent that they are able to feel there's a "mind" on the other end that is capable of returning their feelings in any shape or form, is beyond predatory.
