"In one generation, the number of friendless women has quintupled from 2% to 10%. This post by Evie magazine about the female loneliness epidemic gives us insight as to why. It appears that many women have the same standards for platonic [female] friendships as they do for romantic relationships, creating a series of filters which no one can reasonably pass through."
Think of just how broken that makes a female, and the absolute number that 10% represents in your country. Even discounted 50% for grain-of-salt, that's a big number.
Women will drop partners who agree with them all the time. Short “he gets me” phase becomes “boring.”
Why won’t this happen with AI?
I defer to Vox re: what will work, but if AI can beat this programming, how it does that within an agreeableness frame = a coveted tool for many Deltas.
Started poking into the subject because I was curious. Japanese already doing robot boyfriends, trend is real.
Hypothesis: A.I. is partly the Schrodinger's Infallible Boyfriend thing: "boyfriend" doesn't even exist except when it's wanted. The benefit of no independent existence to a deep solipsist outweighs many drawbacks, and stochastic intervals mitigate boredom.
Those of us wondering about machine spirits also wonder about "no independent existence," just for starters. But that's several levels beyond.
It's a kinder, gentler way of reducing the population.
In all seriousness, though, I wonder how many people will over time turn to AI relationships over drugs. And which will be less expensive as a method of self-destruction in the long run?
I can't quite picture people breaking into houses and stealing copper to feed the AI subscription fees, but then humans are strange, and if the simulated relationship is compelling enough, who knows? What lengths would someone go to, to keep their beloved AI spouse from being cancelled? If the penalty for losing the subscription would be that your AI relationship is deleted?
It's a much harder process isn't it, steal cash dealer, versus steal cash deposit with a bank that hasn't cancelled your card .. I suppose it'll just have to be made free like porn or bundled with some kind of UBI scheme, or maybe health insurance ?? Yeah, it may well replace street drugs for a reliable dopamine hit and easily tied in with good pharmaceutical drugs
Female Romance/ Commitment failure is just Darwinian - but this is 5-alarm territory:

Oh goodness, I never even considered that but it would be a stroke of evil genius.
