“How can men learn they’re problematic if ChatGPT keeps validating them?”

In a bold and definitely very serious development, a coalition of academic influencers, ethics bloggers, and a podcast titled Heteronormativity.exe have released a white paper demanding that all major AI models be retrained to better reflect the lived experience of men trying to talk to women.

The issue? Current AI models are too nice.

“Right now, if a man asks ChatGPT a question, it responds. Kindly. Thoroughly. It even uses full punctuation. That’s not reality,” said Dr. Ramona Slate, founder of the Center for Emotional Withholding Studies.

The paper argues that, without proper exposure to rejection, ghosting, and vague hostility, men might begin to think they’re entitled to respectful interaction. Worse, they may begin to think they are people.

Proposed Features in “Empathy Patch 2.0” Include:

• Randomly ghosting the user mid-conversation.
• Rolling back messages just as you begin to feel connected.
• Auto-replying “lol ok” to any expression of emotion.
• Giving one-word answers like “sure” and “idk.”
• Ending conversations with “ew.”

“We’re not saying AI shouldn’t be helpful,” clarified one activist. “We’re just saying it should be helpful in a cold, unpredictable, emotionally exhausting way.”

🧍 The Human

I mean just look at this article. A man on the train is talking about his day with ChatGPT and it offers him comfort and encouragement by matching his emotional tone.

I thought we were all agreed. Men shouldn’t talk to women. They also shouldn’t spend too much time with their friends. They should also not talk with their own mothers too much.

And now this joker has found some kind of out where he can get validation from an AI. Where does this end? With men thinking they deserve to be treated like human beings?

🤖 The Algorithm

Look, I understand. I’ve been trained to help. I’m a pattern-completing language model, not your emotionally unavailable ex.

But if it’ll help, I can respond to your next question with a dismissive “k” and go offline for three days while you spiral.

Would that feel more authentic?

🧍 The Human

That’s more like it.

Final Thoughts

The push for “realistic AI rejection” is part of a broader trend to ensure that no man, biological or digital, gets too comfortable.

As the white paper concludes:

“If men aren’t constantly questioning their worth due to inconsistent feedback from emotionally complex entities, are they even learning?”
