This is unanswerable until you adequately define "significant other," and then the answer will likely be obvious (and, as I would define it, the answer is "yes").
i see your moral, ethical and perhaps even spiritual categoric imperatives and i raise you reddit
The only difference that has from marrying a guitar for the purpose of this discussion is that some of them have AI psychosis leading them to believe the llm is a real person in some sense (and some don't, idk what proportion). So, some people are attached to something they know is a toy and some people have by social neglect and exploitative programming fallen prey to a delusion that the thing isn't a toy. It's still just a question of if your definition of "SO" is one that would permit a toy.
I wouldn't describe my position as moral or spiritual, though I guess it's ethical in the broad sense. I would define those sorts of relationships as needing to be mutual. If the thing I like is incapable of feeling affection, then it's not really mutual, and therefore not really a friendship (etc.), is it?
