      Why? People are already having sex with devices (vibrators, masturbators, real-dolls). I don’t see why this is all that different

        At least dildos and fleshlights don’t pretend to be anything more than a toy. No one is that emotionally invested in their sex toys. They serve a physical purpose and that’s kinda it.

        When you get into real-dolls and using this type of AI. There are mental health issues that are not helped and probably worsened by the existence of these things. Human connections to non-“real” things is weird af. It’s a one-sided relationship until the AI is capable of breaking up and leaving not just getting powered down and restarted.

          It is probably unhealthy in a very similar way to parasocial relationships with celebrities are if people take those too far.

        I don’t know why, somehow it just feels different to me. Or maybe it’s just the state of the world that tries to dehumanize everything with “AI” that depress me.
