    There’s a lot of stuff that we do today that the same people doing it considered pathetic in the 90s.

    I have no doubt that AI relationships will be completely normalised and not much different from the movie Her.

      Did you misunderstand that movie? A relationship with an AI is never seen as normal in the movie. The protagonist is a pathetic, lonely man who is going through a divorce. He buys an operating system with an AI component who he then falls for. When he admits to his ex-wife that he’s involved with his operating system, his ex-wife laughs at him for it. And, at the end of the movie, the AIs have evolved so that they’re no longer interested in humans and leave humanity behind to do their own thing.

      There’s never a time, even in that movie, where AI relationships are something you’d want to admit to in public.

      Well, when they thought the girl on the other end of the phone sex line or a stripper they kept visiting was their girlfriend, that was pathetic in the 90s, and it still is.

      This is somewhere between fucking your secretary and fucking your vacuum cleaner.

      No they won’t, these people won’t reproduce if they’re doing this. Over time as gens go on, it will become less and less common.

        It has nothing to do with reproduction, “normal” people aren’t reproducing already… This is a social and isolation issue, people have needs that a non judging sycophantic AI will feed into.

        I’m quite surprised that someone would feel so strongly otherwise and would bet a large amount of money that in 20 years people will not be judging just like they did computer nerds, games, cellphones, internet, social networks, etc…
