I agree. This is feeding off of a new way to market and use people’s insecurities, selling them a fix that will do more damage. I think we’ve already seen this in the business world with adoption of AI for every damn thing, even forcing employees to enbrace it or leave. And the best ones aren’t even that good. And then there’s Co-pilot, which is worse. So adding another more personal version will pull in more people looking for answers to their problems (caused by a society that’s broken).

The question of AGI and whether one can be personal with it is an interesting debate, and not one that people are happy to entertain in discussion or acceptance at this time. But we don’t have AGI, may never have it, and this is simply a money grab no different than OnlyFans and webcam girls, only there’s no human at the other end that has to get a small part of the profit.
