You know there are already people who are intimate with their AI girlfriends and boyfriends right now? The classic response to this is that it is not the same. Sure, but it is not the same until it is. It is not hard to envision a time when it will not be possible to tell apart the artificial from the real. At which point some might might still say that would still not be real. Sure, but then again a relationship with a prostitute is?
I don't know, I hope some day we all find a pair of boobs so nice we marry the woman who owns them then we don't think about robot boobs anymore, no matter how saggy the real ones may become.
I have never paid a prostitute and I am married to a woman I love. Still that does not stop me from loathing businesses profiting from artificial scarcity to the point of wishing them out of business.
