The City of Imprisoned Love

If I was a human in this manga, I would kill the old man. What is wrong with letting every human get to experience being the main character of their own virtual world?

I understand that it baited everyone in with Yukiko's Yukikos only to follow that with a continious stream of boring "plot"

Everytime Ai gets confessed too, she explodes. Is Love the final emotion machines have yet to understand and feel? Like her programming can't handle love?

Also, in that part the old guy calls humanity "we", while Yukiko just calls it "the humanity"

True, there are two scenarios here. Yukiko is the AI (it's effectively a hivemind, or at least a central control unit) or Yukiko is an AI that learned emotion. But the way the old man don't accept her plans make it seem like she isn't on the same wavelength as him, so it seems more likely that she is THE AI.

And if she is the one that is taking everything from humans (work, purpose, emotions) and the very last thing is love. But honestly, Ai can go any way. An AI that actually learned love and is being experimented by Yukiko, an Ai that can't handle love and explodes, a human.

My guess is that AIs still can't comprehend love.

Which is why Ai explodes when confessed to and what this whole project is for, to get AIs understand what love is. Love is important because it gives robots a purpose beyond serving humanity because even though they have emotions they don't really have anything to do other than take care of human vegetables and after all the humans finally die out they'll just stagnate and do nothing.
