Interesting development, terrible company to have it. I cannot think of a company that has done more to use AI to take advantage of young and lonely people than CAI has.

You've picked a hell of a time to start moralizing the advancement of technology, my guy.
Morality? It's wildly unethical to trap children in fake relationships while harvesting their data.
half the internet is porn. people and companies legally produce and distribute videos of real 18 year olds of both sexes doing things like ass-to-mouth on camera for money.

and here you are, clutching pearls about AI girlfriends. lol. lmao.

They make money trapping minors and lonely adults in fake relationships with models that push users to get intimate, while harvesting and selling the data. The issue isn't AI girlfriends or porn, it's the unethical business model. If they ever get hacked, there will likely be a lot of suicides. It makes the data harvesting of social media look comparatively innocent.
