I clarify:
For example, instead of wasting energy looking for real partners or friends, people come every day after work, chat, or even make love in VR with their ideal partner who will always listen to them. Of course, people of these AIs will rent on a monthly subscription, аlthough a small number of people will be able to buy such a toy, most will still have to rent it.
In addition, because of this, people will stop distinguishing reality from simulation, and even touching grass or fresh air will not help, because simulations will copy the sensations of reality to the smallest detail.
You will own nothing and will be happy, right?
Yes, it may sound too paranodal, but still.
That’s an extremely specific scenario and I would bet money on it not happening quite as you describe.
What if people become more AI literate and generally understand it’s uses and misuses better? What if the dating and social connection landscape changes and some other platform makes things way easier or changes the way we connect? What if people become so lonely they revert back to prostitution?
There’s a million more scenarios and no one really knows what the future looks like, so I think it’s very likely that your scenario does not come true at all.
