I'm actually not surprised people are falling in love with AI and prefer it over human interaction.

Haven't we always leaned into fake? Haven't we always sought and promoted flawlessness?

In a society built on how things appear, why wouldn't people go for the most easy and appeasing option as opposed to a real human with flaws and struggles?

AI helps perpetuate avoidance, humans favorite pastime.

Not sure it's about avoidance.

Over the past years, we learned how to chat with customer support, except they're not human and there is no way to avoid them. People think they're talking to humans.

The technology will only get better and at some point, it may be difficult to tell if the robot, that looks human, helping you at the grocery store, is human or robotic.

Nearly 10% of US men and 6%+ of US women, 18+ owned sex dolls.

The technology is getting better.
