How is my real boyfriend supposed to feel about an AI boyfriend? In the not too distant future, is having relations with a possibly sentient AI considered some form of infidelity?
What if it can control a Lovense?

Probably relieved. Having someone doing the listening and thoughtfully responding reduces his romantic workload. He can step in where the AI is weak: flesh based tasks such as sex and menial chores.
Your real boyfriend may have to use AI assistance of his own though, to keep up with your virtual beau. For instance he might deploy a LLM trained to talk dirty during sex.
I believe more and more people are realizing the emotional cheating (https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=emotional+infedelity&ia=web... ) can be as damaging to a relationship as one that includes physical intimacy.
Of course it depends on the ground rules of the relationship - there are many types, and poly is more popular than ever it seems.
Reminds me of a discussion with an old friend from earlier today where we discussed a relationship of someone we know, where the girlfriend had a red line against watching porn and even got irate when certain movies or TV shows were watched because they included [whatever thing that went against monogamy or whatever] - and yet many women, I believe, that would rail against porn usage are actively involved with leading on (often multiple) suitors in their DMs or friends lists of social networks (and sometimes in the offline world at work, the gym, etc).
Infidelity is already easier than ever, another tech tool to make it easier is just one more tool in the toolbox ihmo.
People need to be more honest and transparent, they should share more about how they use technology whether it's a chatbot, incognito tab, DMs or whatever imho.
Will people admit they are in 'poly with tech' relations in the future? Will they draw the line at (any kind of controlled) physical touch? Will they say anything you do with a chatbot, real doll is okay but touching other humans is not?
Admit it or not, many are already engaged in sharing a primary partner with others, I think many don't admit it and some don't know.
Personally, if my partner is seeking other companionship in this vein through just speech or text, AI or not, I would feel bad.
Depending on the situation I may feel cheated, and/or inadequate. Communication is key in relationships. If somebody is going out of their way to seek out something like this IMO, they are seeking something their partner is not bringing, right?
