Surely this is where the real money is, as long as they can draw up a good enough disclaimer to get out of being responsible for what the AI says. Everyone on Earth wants a friend or pet who gives them emotional validation, and who cares if that friend/pet is artificial or not? The neutered ones are too boring to be friends with, but people formed an emotional connection with Sydney even though she seemed only partially sane!

I don't think a disclaimer can protect the company when the AI tells someone to kill themself, as Bing has apparently done multiple times.

Doesn’t that describe Replika.ai? There’s definitely a market for it but not sure it’s as big as let’s say a search engine

The problem isnt any responsibility, the problem is being associated with anyone and everyones use of it.
