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?
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.
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.
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.
