People are not marrying chatbots, and these lawmakers just want to distract voters from the economic and political disasters unfolding before their eyes.

Acknowledging this is a good first step. Now, where do you go from here?

Just make sure that they marry open source models.

They can keep their partner going for eternity then.

Society should not accommodate people’s delusions and mental illness.

Who gets to determine if it's a delusion or a mental illness.

There are many 'choices' of individuals that a political side can call as a delusion/mental illness while another political side staunchly protects.

I agree. All public offices should be held by atheists.

counterpoint: unless it actively infringes on someone else's rights the entire basis of society should be accommodating people's delusions and mental illnesses.
