Endgame for all of this, mark my words will be "immersive VR"
Why play hogwarts legacy when you could go to meta hogwarts and actually talk to harry potter about your day? People think parasocial relationships are toxic to society now?!?
HAH.
Just wait till we start seeing headlines about people killing themselves over their favorite character (or worse ai wife/husband) getting digital dementia due to dataloss or being taken offline forever. It rings back to that movie HER the one where loads of people fell in love with the same AI model, except in that movie the model had agency and wasnt insidiously designed by a major social media/ads company to drive traffic and profits.
I know my comments might come off as inflammatory, but I want to make a very clear point that I hardly have seen mentioned elsewhere. The problems that we see with the terminally online and other forms of unhealthy attachment to online personas will only be amplified as VR and AI get better.
