What makes you think simulating intimacy is harder than impersonating a human during conversation?
I remember reading about researchers constructing a fake monkey mother out of blankets, a heat lamp, and a milk bottle. The babies seemed to get what they needed in terms of intimacy.
Likewise Paro the Seal seems able to help elders cope with loneliness.
