> Similar to the AI girlfriend/boyfriend tools i think this is different - the chatters are effectively committing fraud, where as the ai bf/gf tools are not lying about what they're selling (so presumably, the buyers of them are not being defrauded). So unless it can be shown to harm third parties, these ai gf/bf tools should be as free to exist as any other legal service that has the consent of the involved parties (such as drinking, gambling, prostitution etc). People's feelings of ethics should not immediately be the reason to deny anything's existence - harm must be first shown, and the harm must be on third parties unrelated to the first party involved.
