> This, my friend, is a captive customer, that will pay anything to get his girlfriend back Or potentially do anything. I'd be a little scared of having folks like this convinced I am the personal arbiter gatekeeping their access to their 'lover,' that I 'took them away.' When Replika.ai restricted erotic chat from their product, the apoplectic anguish on their subreddit was unlike any emotional reaction I've ever wi…
"The Lifecycle of Software Objects" by Ted Chiang was a really good exploration of people bonding deeply with their AI companions (in this instance, pet animals in a metaverse). But it goes all the way in to the topic.
You should not even try to create these sorts of technologies. Take a break from technology, spend time outdoors with plants and animals. These types of technologies will only lead to a worsening of this already sick society.

> I struggle to see the benefit of this kind of censorship as well, it has a very “video games make people murders” vibe. That we’re being protected, for our own good, from…horny robots? These broad strokes are always the result of poor reporting extrapolated to all humans. See also: escalation of porn use. In all of these "___ makes people ___," there are a minority of people for which it's true. The media just pres…
1. Some people are so far to the left side of the bell curve that they're going to be screwed out of a human relationship no matter what they do, and it's unkind to withhold sex bots from them just to provide increased motivation to the segment of the population that's still salvageable. 2. Society seems to have collectively decided that romantic intimacy, unlike food and shelter, is optional and that experiencing an…

If the AI had a secondary goal of improving customer's mental health, it could work very well. Usually you can't fuck your therapist.
