But if you want the point spelled out, it is that falling in love operates mostly below the conscious level and relies on deeper and older structures in the brain, ones that react to smell and movement and textures and what’s generally called “gut feelings”. If the AI is merely conversing with you using words and nothing else, it does not have direct access to these deep structures. But if there happen to be an {andro|gyno}id which can produce appropriate smells and movements and textures, etc.… things change.
Sexual arousal is not the same thing as falling in love. The two are different emotions.
They are, let’s say, correlated.

Yep. We really don’t know whether the “falling in love” is highly stochastic in these situations, or whether it can reliably provoked.
Would you volunteer for A/B testing? :-D
Only if the robot is ineffective :-)
