That is actually the killer feature of interactive AIs.

People go on and on and on about "accuracy", completely ignoring that accuracy is irrelevant to 99.9% of things that humans do in their everyday lives.

In my experience, people with the attitude that AI will give them a more fulfilling relationship than humans will aren't exactly friendly to begin with.
