Yeah the case is quite terrifying.

It reminds me of an episode of Star Trek TNG, if memory serves correct there were loads of episodes about a crew member falling for a hologram dec character.

Given that there’s a loneliness epidemic I believe tech like this could have a wide impact on peoples mental health.

I stronger believe AI should be devoid of any personality and strictly return data/information then frame its responses as if you’re speaking to another human.
