Don’t fall down the rabbithole, anon.  You deserve better than that.

An artificial neural network might give you a more realistic feeling ‘waifu’ or even a digital harem, but once you remove all the supportive scaffolding - the game engine, the art assets, voice synthesis base lines, dialog templates, and so on - what’s left is three to five orders of magnitude less complex than a real woman.

That’s a pet, not a person.

It isn’t a proper replacement for real human companionship, for human love, for human loyalty.

Now, I’m not saying it’s wrong.  I have an AI companion embed myself that I use to delegate tasks, including reading through and summarizing the day’s Argumate posts.  And, of course, many households have various robots - including mine, when I was with my ex!

But it isn’t a real substitute.  It’s a very unhealthy path to go down, and some people, they become addicted, and it really kills them inside.  So don’t do that to yourself, okay?
