Most developed countries are already worried about declining birth rates (many are already below replacement rates). The rise of AI companions is going to absolutely drop the bottom out of even the most pessimistic birth rate outlooks. It's easy to imagine a future where the majority of all young people give up on trying to establish real relationships and just resort to AI companions for the cheap and easy dopamine.…

I'm not saying AI porn is the cause of it, I'm saying it's going to be another thing added on to the stack of issues that already exist.

I don't think teenagers are thinking about housing and childcare when not pursuing sex.

This is how AI will destroy us? It’s like the holodeck on Star Trek: if that would exist, almost no human would do anything else than be there 24/7. The low-fi versions we will have the coming years might be enough to at least keep the male part of society permanently occupied.

There already a few chatGPT "companion" projects that give ChatGPT a cutting edge AI voice and "girlfriend" pre-prompts. The onlyfans phenomenon might turn out to just be a flash in the pan.

Dating sim that does your taxes: https://taxheaven3000.com - No idea if it's powered by "AI".

It is in no way AI related; it's a standard visual novel.

Jobs getting harder or bot paying well is a odd explanation of low birth rates.

After all, quality of life is way better than 100 years ago, and 100 years ago people would have 8 children at like 25.
