How do you feel about artificially created intimacy?

Would it be ethical to use artificial intelligence to create a synthetic "perfect partner" that can fulfill your emotional and psychological needs without having true consciousness? What might be the long-term consequences for human relationships?

I'm not sure about moral and ethical ramifications. However, it begs the question.

How long humanity can go, first, in general, we now prefer our pets for emotional support, a human-to-human connection loss. Resortin to artificial intelligence, to create intimacy, I think it's a quite lonely and uh, depressing. What it really means that humans will continue to lose the ability to communicate/interact with other humans.

Our ability to resolve conflicts
In an intimate relationship will diminish. As that partner will probably be a yes, person.

It will continue to advance my opinion pribably really means nothing. In many ways we are living it.

I think if someone were content with having an AI partner, they are not going to want to go back to dealing with an organic partner where conflicts are constant.

@HoeBag Totally agree.
