I love AI but I also hope it will paradoxically make people realize the value of real life experiences and human relationships.

It won't. This is digital heroin of the purest kind. The reason we've never heard from any alien species is that they invented this technology and then the entire population disappeared into their goonspheres and never emerged.
Quite how they stopped a line forming three decks long outside every holodeck on the Enterprise is a mystery to me.

You probably need captain approval for NSFW content. I wonder if there will ever be an AI service that is not "Enterprise" filtered.
Or maybe it will just make people realize the value of fake life experiences and human relationships.
The American public is no different than an American corporation; trying to extract as much allegiance and loyalty as possible for as little compensation as possible.
Your neighbors in the street protesting for comprehensive single payer healthcare? Yeah they're perfectly fine leaving your existence up to "market forces".
Copy-paste office workers everywhere reciting memorized platitudes and compliance demands.
You're telling me I could interact even less with such selfish (and often useless given their limited real skillset) people? Deal.
America needs to rethink the compensation package if it wants to survive as a socio-political meme. Happy to call myself Canadian or Chinese if their offer is better. No bullets needed.
>I think we'll eventually get to the point where these are real time and have consistent representations
You have a dangerously low opinion of your fellow man, and while I sympathize with your frustration, I would humbly suggest you direct that anger at owners of companies/politicians, rather than aim it at your everyday citizen.

Maybe some folks (ahem) disappearing into virtual worlds is a good thing for those left behind.
It is only detaching people from reality more. The internet used to be a window into the outside world and now AI is making it counterfeit manipulated fantasy.
Dunno, I want to agree, but at the same time it's spoken like someone to whom these experiences and human relationship come easily. There are many people out there who, for some reason (anxiety, etc.), cannot easily access this part of the human condition, unfortunately.
Perhaps better to roam a virtual reality than be starved in the real world.
Like what happened with the Internet. Oh wait no it didn't happen. Yea...
