I'm surprised this is already a thing. With AI being still so basic and limited.
But I guess with the virtual girlfriends and all this was bound to happen.

Something social media proved long before AI is that a significant portion of the population would consume low-nutrition socialization like Twitter all day if it lets the avoid having face to face conversations.
AI lets them remove even having to deal with humans over the Internet. It's a bit like the lengths we go to avoid moving our bodies, despite how much of life's joys require physical exertion.
I saw that back in the day with icq. Two roommates in my dorm preferred to use text chat rather than engage in conversation.
> I'm surprised this is already a thing.
That was my thought as well. I think it's specific to (part of) America.
