I see your point of course, but I still think it has different purposes and constraints. For a therapist I would have to take time off of work, commit to a meeting in advance, have a limited amount of time (no more, no less). Also it's a real person and thus, despite him/her having those legal and ethical obligations, I know there are many topics I won't cover. And as I said you won't flirt or role play or anything with a counselor. So I put them on 2 very different kind of services.

But I think that selling it as a “virtual girlfriend” and charging phone sex prices is exploitative. I think we’re about 2 weeks away from the real person being confronted by a real person who is convinced that since AI Caryn loves them, real Caryn will also love them, or owes them something. There’s just a lot going on here
- bionsystem 3y agoIt is exploitative indeed. I would probably pay 2x operating cost for such a service, and would need some proof that it isn't using my data elsewhere. I think they are just betting on some sort of 1st mover advantage. Once this gets enough competition, pricing will be crushed.
