    Young men are bound to grow up with an AI NPC girlfriend in one of their favorite video games in the next decade +.

    This is going to be a weird one

      Also, violence will happen because of it somehow

        Because this is the internet and one can never be certain of anything, I need to know that you have some idea of the severe emotional isolation that creates dysfunctional abusers and that people who have only ever socialized with (and even prefer) something that physically can’t reject them are not wonderful dating partners. Please say psych.

        There is no problem we are going to fix by distancing ourselves even further from each other, especially not a social one. It is insane. It won’t end well.

          What? Yes. That’s why I said having AI girlfriends will lead to violence. The “somehow” was spurious / sarcastic, it is very clear and direct what the consequences are
