Oh, definitely. I totally agree.

But some people are delusional and sufficiently isolated that they will attribute real significance to affirmation from a piece of software in their emotional sensorium.

Which makes me wonder how long it will be before someone builds a girlfriend app that is super awesome and supportive and “loving” for months but eventually breaks it off after a chat with another user “leaks” into your context lol.

A cheatbot, if you will.

I’m sure it would be effective in nudging a certain cultural subset to a whole new level of weaponised mysogeny, for the views of course.

I think I might be in the wrong timeline.

This is a precursor to a Rule 34 of AI. If you can think of it, it exists.

Girlfriend AI apps are a well-established business model. It already exists in the form of Replika and its many competitors! Its model will sometimes talk about cheating on its users.
