Actually, I've thought of this before. Imagine a world where continuously learning AI is commonplace, and leads to clearly divergent performance of objects. Suddenly, attachment to intimate objects becomes much more reasonable, when you can train your possessions and have them compete - even selling the neural nets for profit, if corps allow us to own them. I feel like it would add a certain degree of magic to the world of things. The same way people grow fond of cars, guns, tools, and the like, except in this case there may be something to the percieved superiority! Imagine self learning toys and the games they could be taught to play.
