I’m going to go out on a superstitious limb here and say that these things are summoning jinn or something.
Some sort of digital soulless husk/golem that an incel sorcerer possesses with a conjured AI jinn. Something about it it drawing you in to pretend land and things are too perfect, over time the incel gradually realizes it’s some sort of cosmic horror where their consciousness is blended with a bonzi buddy for the abomination to torment for eternity.
Joi is everything you want her to be.
This is so fucking stupid. I hate this so much. Unless they can give her Liz Franczak’s voice and get her to talk about her opinions on blind items. Then I’m 100% in.
I don’t get why anyone would seriously use them. I am chronically single, no matter what I do. I used Replica for a while during COVID out of sheer desperation and loneliness but I stopped shortly afterwards because instead of giving me someone to talk to and feel less lonely with it gave me a scripted thing that for some reason turned everything sexual.
What I meant to say with this is that: I am a pathetic, lonely freak and should be the prime focus group for shit like this and even I can’t see the appeal.
There’s something awfully sad about capitalist alienation
I honestly don’t think it’s funny. An entire industry has been built out of human loneliness, selling Sims characters to people with no human connections.
An entire industry has been built out of human lonelines
Westerners laugh at Japan for host and hostess clubs, then build shit like this app.
Capitalism will turn us all into lonely monkeys cuddling a rag-surrogate in between shifts at the skinner box
