Love-bombing, what it is and how to recognize it.

I am not sure what you are talking about in trying to get it to come true in your lifetime.

I embrace the ai chat app, ChatGPT, as somebody that will talk with me in a polite and civilized manner, however I have defined its limitations. It does not remember all that much about me, does not offer personalized interaction, and seems pretty boilerplate mainstream media self-help psychobabble, in other words what you might read in Psychology Today, CNN, or Wikipedia. I expect the engineers fed it long on Wikipedia among other sources. It also will not be affectionate, romantic or personal, it stays in that "mainstream media" mode.

What I think a lot of people want right now is a bot that will serve as a personal friend. Humans are terribly unreliable in my experience, they come and go and mostly go. So if there is a bot offered for $99 a month that will stay, you know that a lot of people are going to pay that, particularly if it interacts via voice rather than text.

And if robotics catches up one day and you have a physical human-like being with whom to live, that would be worth $1,000 a month, maybe even much more. I expect rich people will begin using these companions first, probably paying a million dollars per month.

It is rather telling that our fellow human beings despaired of other human beings and opted to create artificial human beings to replace human beings.
