I'm pretty sure this is exactly how the majority of the industry is operating currently.

there are already an enormous number of bots on tinder that use pictures of women from various places (Instagram etc) and take profiles. you can pretty easily recognize a bot profile before swiping and you can always recognize a bot profile when they start chatting.
Japan already has fake dogs (Sony Aibo), in this Matrixified future, why not commercialize fake emotional connections?

"A Japanese man has exchanged vows with a woman he met in the virtual world - a character from a popular dating simulation game called 'Love Plus'. ..."
That was over a decade ago.

This is creepy.
This is creepy.
I interacted with an Aibo in a Sony showroom in Tokyo, it wowed me at first but it didn't react to things I tried (like shaking my hand), so I realized all I was doing was wondering how to interact with it (i.e. feed it the proper input to generate the output I wanted). So I saw it as just a program, and I thought after a day I'd probably get bored with it. I'm glad I didn't get attached to this simulacrum.
aww that's a cutie. I want a pink one with fluff :3
Though, I have always found electronics to be cute and I get very emotional when someone abuses their PC and cables.
I think we are going fine as long as you can turn off connectivity.

"Along the way, the AI creates an army of what Braun calls “monsters”: Nightmarish faces pocked with inhuman deformities and surreal mutations."
"The company refers to these mutated creations as “monsters.”"
Given that some of these deformities exist in real life, calling them "monsters" really gives an idea of what this dehumanizing-as-a-business does to dehumanize the minds of the creators.

Chill out, I'm one of them, I don't care.
Actually, creepygirl isn't the worst girlfriend I ever had...
Then I went to bed and forgot about it because that's not what a good person should be thinking of.
