Im not 100% comfortable with AI gfs and the direction society could potentially be heading. I don't like that some people have given up on human interaction and the struggle for companionship, and feel the need to resort to a poor artificial substitute for genuine connection. Its very sad.

The marketing for some of them also seems quite predatory, which doesn't seem like a good sign.

Although I'm personally less concerned about the people that seek them out, and more the ones that just get used in the wild.

Imagine hitting it off with someone, having a friendship for a while, only to find out that they're an engagement or scam bot? It'd be devastating.

that's already happening on just about every dating app though

Was functionally the entire business model of sites like "Seeking Arrangements" since their inception. AI isn't doing what phone sex operators and cam-whores have been doing for decades. They're just filling in as a cheap inferior substitute that can over-saturate the market at very little cost to the distributors.

AI Girlfriend is the new 419 Scam, kicked up a notch.
