It took less than I expected for it to take this extremely obvious turn

It is not superintelligence. It's common intelligence at scale. A bot for erotic conversation - something that a lot of people have done before - is something genAI is much better equipped to do than solving a problem that the whole of humanity wasn't able to solve yet.
Does that mean AI sexbot doesn't sound ridiculous? Hell no
It’s about getting people to connect with identification. Horny folks gonna give up their anonymity.
Whether or not it turns a profit, it's more doubling down on the transition to a post-industrial economy that some of them have to realize is impossible.
My question is do the investors have any exit plan? Or is the US dollar system such a lock-in that they can only keep running like Wile E. Coyote and try not to look down?
Fuck that. If we're going the AI girlfriend route, I'll just self host my own.
Honestly of all the catastrophic damage AI is doing to the world, I think adding mediocre erotica to the output is the least of our concerns.
So... are they... rolling out a humanoid sex bot?
Are they... making a chatGPT api type thing work with wireless sex toys?
Like really, what are they even talking about, are they just also going in on erotic chatbots and porn generators?
Is this just an excuse to motivate people to upload their real-life identity so they can sell that?
