A good question to ask yourself is whether I'd the tool or the software. A bot using AI to me is not that different from trying to have an intimate connection with an AI without the hardware.
And this already exists. people are already using AI to accidentally or purposely create friendship or romantic partner substitutes.
I don't disagree that it exists but I'm against purposefully expanding it. "People already have colds why not spread the flu?"
We've already outsourced our creativity and now we're outsourcing our relationships? It's just so abhorrent to me.
Suggesting it's outsourcing relationships is a bit of a leep. Early adopters using this are going to be using this as a replacement for prostitution which is already generally illegal or a replacement for isolate masturbation
