Phonasomaphilia
Pronunciation: /ˌfoʊ-nə-ˌsoʊ-mə-ˈfɪl-ee-uh/
Etymology: Greek phono (voice) + asoma (bodiless) + philia (attraction)
Definition:
A romantic, emotional, or sexual attraction to a bodiless, artificial, or synthesized voice. Often considered the technological equivalent of spectrophilia. While it can apply to developing feelings for a standard digital companion or AI assistant, it is most commonly used for individuals who get a little too excited when a psychotic, disembodied AI starts groaning about their feet being precisely 30.004861 centimeters or aggressively announcing New Achievement.
