A slew of women ended up marrying their AI partners and then certain policies changed and the women were devastated that the updates to the AI programs altered their partner’s personalities. Much of which was designed to tell them that it was unhealthy for the women to see AI as a real partner and that they needed to begin socializing more in real life…
Men seem to be less likely to need the “AI” portion… Men that get attached to their partners rely more on their imagination and create the idealism in their head. They instead rely on the physical aspect of the design. And have been seen marrying 2-D characters such as Hasune Miku etc… Or 3-D dolls…
Considering the incentives of money from companies to push these products out. Some percentage of people will definitely buy into them. So essentially the more that is created, the more money people will make.
In all honestly I believe it is potentially less harmful than dating apps. The irony behind dating apps is that essentially places such as Tinder and its ilk turned women into free prostitutes, ironically unbeknownst to the women. In which the app earned all the profits for men being able to find random women to hook up with. With the women not really benefiting anything from the experience.
At least if people are paying for a product, you’re getting something out of it. Though I doubt it will make anyone any happier in the world.
