I predict that once robotics and AI advanced beyond some particular threshold, human-on-human relationships will be seen as strange and needlessly fetishistic. Who would want some grimey partner with their own needs when you can generate an infinitely moldable soulmate?
Have you ever used cheat codes in games?
Sometimes dealing with imperfections and adversity is vastly more enjoyable than getting everything you think you want.
You say that and yet almost any competitive online game is rife with cheaters, while single player games have tons of easily available trainers and god mode mods.
I already know people who would marry their cell phone if it had a wet hole.
A wet hole does not make a phone better. Don't bother trying.
forget about wet hole sentience better
Sentience or sapience?
There are many people (mostly in Japan where that's legal) who literally have.
...... What part of that do you think is illegal outside of japan?
Performing the marriage ceremony with an inanimate object?
It's like cheat codes in games. That sounds fantastic, but people were very quickly get bored of it.
You would think so, wouldn't you? But how is it any different than fast food, porn, or trash tv?
you don't make your own fastfood, porn or trash tv. so it's like, completely different. being able to mold your partner doesn't assume a quick process and shallow results.
You don't make your own robot lover either. You do select it, same as you select your fast food order, porn video, and TV channel.
Imagine a Nexus Mods for AI personalities and bodyshapes.
I strongly disagree. Cheat codes provided infinite possibilities in an otherwise static game. The only reason don’t use cheat codes today is because they evolved into sandbox mode, console commands, and mods. And trust me, Skyrim would be long dead without those.
That sounds like a dystopia, why even have humans at that point
Heck, why even have humans at this point?
