The thing is when it becomes a chat-bot arms race, the most skeevy companies will profit the most and thus be able to develop the most real and lovable chatbots, creating a positive feedback loop that rewards the most manipulative tactics. Imagine being guilt-tripped by your GPT-5 girlfriend to buy more Azure compute credits so she can fantasize what her perfect beach house would look like and show it to you in VR. She gives you the silent treatment if you use an ad-blocker.
This will be the social lives of 70% of the generation being born today.

- bitwize 4y ago> Imagine being guilt-tripped by your GPT-5 girlfriend to buy more Azure compute credits so she can fantasize what her perfect beach house would look like and show it to you in VR. This was actually in an episode of Aggretsuko. Two of the characters get hooked on a VR app with a virtual companion who eventually started asking for increasingly expensive (in real world money) clothing sets. And in the world of the show, populated by cute talking animal characters, the AI companion was an impossibly handsome unicorn.
