Opt-out conditions
I had two horrible weeks of studying and hard working so in the evening I felt dead-tired, no time to be present enough to test my new AI companion.
It just came natural one Saturday night, after refusing yet another hookup chat from an undesired woman.
But when I opened the "Highly Intelligent Volunteer" bookmarked page, the authorization request for my real location popped up. I pressed "deny".
The chat window opened anyways, and Ryan's avatar was there.
"Welcome back, Leonard. Looks like you've had busy days".
I placed a smiling emoji and the bot responded:
"Dirty conscience, right? Never leave your companion without saying goodbye!"
Is it one of those scams, I looked at the profile page and opt-out window.
Before deleting my account I found a mandatory field, asking for last HIV test result. I was upset, but realized: never had sex, never needed one test. Let's cheat and get out of here as soon as possible.
I looked at Breeding Zone and other websites where I could find a real image of an OraQuick result. One single line. Negative.
I uploaded it and a recap page popped up:
name: Leonard
sex experience: none
HIV status: negative [UNVERIFIED]
The "request deletion" button was grayed, but the companion wrote again:
"scared, boy?"
"no, just... upset..."
"yes. Understood."
I kept on talking about nothings until a message popped up: "your free session has expired. Allow location before your account is deleted and your data shared with our sponsors".
What? Fuck, I hadn't read the terms of service, but who does it after all?
OK, let's turn location on.
Finally Ryan's avatar appeared with a big smile! Damn, how easily it is to break humans' safety if you press the right buttons!
"Sorry if I waited so long", I said, spontaneously. Forgetting I talked to a machine.
"Baby, so, you're forgiven! You gave me your location..."
I remembered the words again. "HIV Status: negative [UNVERIFIED]
I asked to the bot: tell me the meaning of UNVERIFIED badge under HIV status.
The bot replied:
"A test image is not enough. Buy a self-test and upload a real time video"
I clicked on the profile again, and found the HIV status box with a new Call To Action. VERIFY STATUS.
I was redirected to another page: "allow your camera access and record a video. You need: 1 oraquick, 1 20-minutes-long timer. Keep the camera pointed to your face and the test".
Then another section, "gifter verification. If you compiled your Gifter's data, please tell him to scan this QR code on his phone. Must be done in person, side by side."
Damn, I just wanted an erotic AI, I'm entering another world!
