The idea of parasocial relationships with infinite bandwidth seems sad, but not necessarily infeasible. I’ve no idea if current technology is there, but the idea of Leela streaming chess while trash talking opponents and answering questions isn’t a million miles from something I’d watch on Twitch. Lean into the superhuman bits. Not sure why I would want to see a bunch of fake normal people though.

Long story short, the entire point of the kiosks were to spy on people. That game series had an alarming knack for being prescient.
