    Maybe we should do something about the modern (male) loneliness problem instead of piling onto AI. It’s just the symptom, not the problem.

      And what’s this male loneliness problem you’re talking about?

      What would be a reasonable solution?

      Edit: Downvoted for asking a question? How many lonely people are here? I mean, I know I am one, but guys… just answer.

    Better than them doing mass shootings… Also these AIs seem pretty preachy on morality, so this really one of those social phenomena that’s only a problem of we problematize it.

    More of a wait and see problem, than a lives are at risk problem.

    How long until these are integrated into sex dolls and we have a real life Ex Machina?

    I think red pillers have been waiting for this to happen. For real women to be unnecessary.

      Addiction is a compulsive, chronic, physiological or psychological need for a habit-forming substance, behavior, or activity having harmful physical, psychological, or social effects and typically causing well-defined symptoms (such as anxiety, irritability, tremors, or nausea) upon withdrawal or abstinence.

      Don’t blame someone else for your addictions. That’s just pathetic.
