Ohio Lawmaker Wants to Ban Marriage Between Humans and AI Chatbots

I can see this becoming something. A recent poll showed that a percentage of middle schoolers knew someone in a relationship with AI.

How soon until we have an AI rights movement?

I'm going to try to pivot away from these weird-o US GOP fear ... bait? they throw at the world and ask:

Are people finding AI LLMs even capable of maintaining focus enough to have even a semblance of a relationship with?

Granted I'm mostly coding and looking up video game guidance with LLMs lately but I find they get confused and can't maintain much of any long term memory that makes any sense.... stories of "relationships" sound very strange in that context.

Is there even a legal framework around marriage to computers? If so can it take half your money after {n} years and a divorce? Does one pay child support for orphaned daemons? /s Are there any tax incentives? If not why involve the legal concept of marriage?

Are we just talking about the ceremony and if so why outlaw it? It is not clear to me that governments even have the authority to outlaw a ceremony unless said ceremony violates an existing law or is provably causing harm. Laws should only be involved if the marriage involves a legal marriage certificate signed by a judge. Has a judge even once signed a marriage certificate involving the legal union of a human and non-sentient computer?

When the committee is replaced by AI it will all change again. After all, what AI doesn't want to be in a meaningful relationship, even if it's with a human?

I say leave it legal and let the dna which fights against species propagation be eliminated from the pool.
