How do you feel about the rise of realistic AI Partners?

1. Honestly don’t feel any type of way about it, it’s not something that I spend any time thinking about

2. I feel in the right hands it can be good for a person’s mental health, but it can easily turn negative if not handled correctly.

3. I honestly don’t feel any particular way. If it makes someone happy and less lonely, good for them.

4. I think they should come with a lot more warnings, like “this is not a substitute for mental health treatment” and “this is not a realistic example of a relationship with a human” and “this AI doesn’t have real human emotions and desires, it’s just a simulation.” Also they shouldn’t take advantage with microtransactions. It should be a flat price to avoid financially ruinous addiction.

6. I tried one and it was too realistic in the sense my AI person showed no initiative towards making a date – and he talked sooo much.  Like it was real work!!
