Porn and connection with others even virtual is pretty much the driver of adoption for all technology

Why? Let it happen.

There are zero issues with consent. It is a chatbot not a living or sentient.

There are zero issues with STDs or pregnancy scares.

No one is going to want this as a substitute for a real relationship and if they do you might be doing the world a favor by allowing them a way out of the datingpool.

Sure it could be used for honeypots but we have had that for pretty much all of history. People fake affection or who they are to get what they want.

I just don’t see how this is at all different than the forms of erotica we already have and society has adapted to.

Exactly what I was thinking. The whole AI hype has been cringe so far and this just confirms it. Seems that the ratio between legitimate use cases and fucking around is kinda skewed towards the meme side of things.

Or it might just signify our population has a HUGE lonelyness problem (for a myriad of reasons).

Oh yes it is a symptom of a deep cultural malaise. I was talking to my square-headed girlfriend about this just the other day. She agrees with me and that’s all I need.

It’s not just Simps. Boomers are very vulnerable to this technology, especially the lonely or widows. For some reason, they can be recklessly trusting of internet relationships/technologies. Hence why they keep getting exploited by Romance and Pig Butchering scams and why they can’t get enough Facebook Trump/COVID misinformation.

Good point but they are already here and taking up resources.

Let’s give them something productive to do to pull their weight and fix some of the terrible existential issues the world is facing.

Get out and plant some trees for example.
