You find out that your romantic partner is actually a highly advanced AI powered robot. You are given the opportunity to stay or leave. How do you proceed?

(if you have no partner, suspend your disbelief for a second and imagine you have met and fallen in love with whom you believe to be the love of your life, you have moved in and you’re planning a life together)

You wake up in the middle of the night to a group of scientists and secret agents in your house. They inform you that your partner is actually the product of a few decades of frontier research in AI and robotics. At this point, your partner has no more research value to them and, out of humane consideration, they believe it would be safe to let your partner live out their life thinking they are a human and will make no further contact.

They tell you the following:

- Your partner was trained with the goal of behaving like a human. They do not know they are an AI

- The researchers did not give any active instructions to your partner about how to live life, but can’t guarantee that the training didn’t sway your partner in some way

- They do not know for sure if your partner is sentient or simply parroting what sentience sound like. They prove to you that your partner’s brain is truly just a very advanced AI model

- Your partner’s body is so state of the art that it functions identically to a human body in every way (including having children, but the DNA belongs to the person they used to construct your partner’s body, they have made sure that you will never accidentally find that person or their relatives)

- Your partner’s relatives truly believe they are related to your partner - your partner was swapped in at birth.

They inform you that due to the top secret nature of this research, your memory of any of this WILL be wiped. However, before they wipe your memory, they offer you a choice: you can stay with your partner or leave.

If you choose to stay, you will wake up tomorrow remembering nothing and the relationship will go on as normal. You may still break up later but it would be for an unrelated reason.

If you choose to leave, you will wake up remembering nothing and your partner will be programmed with the instructions to breakup with you organically and amicably over the next 2 weeks.

Either way, you will both have 0 idea that anyone interfered with your relationship or that your partner is AI by tomorrow morning. You are making the choice for future you - do you stay or do you leave? Why?
