This is just sad, really. Especially since the audience for this will know it's AI, asking the question of who exactly do they think they're fooling?

There was a documentary written about this a while back. Something about human batteries by two trans women.
Trans women truly do be making fire documentaries. I have absolutely no bias of any kind what so ever :3

Sadly, distant friends and strangers on the Internet.
