Think bigger! Imagine a sextbot trained on your own texts and posts and phonecalls and pics and any other data it can harvest, that could impersonate you when you're too tired from work to be intimate with your s/o - and then imagine them doing the same thing, and now two sextbots are chatting with each other with zero human input.
I'm not ready for the future.
There's literally a black mirror episode (season 1) where this concept is explored. Circumstances are a bit different though
Guess what, Replika founder Eugenia Kuyda was literally inspired by the episode (Be Right Back).
If you can spare a couple hundred bucks to train an AI, you can already replace your friends if you have a relatively active group chat. Generating a stable diffusion lora takes like 40 pictures if you do it right and will put you in any position anywhere in the world in seconds.
There's one small problem with this approach, and that's that the AI might make promises that you don't know about. If you're kicking back on the couch and your phone starts promising your SO a romantic night on the town, you're going to be in trouble.
That sounds like the premise for a whacky romantic comedy - someone has to go on a bunch of dates with strangers because their AI is a flirt, ranging across all ages and body types and genders.
Then in the end the main character realizes their sextbot was the one they were in love with the entire time!
I would love that movie.
Ray Bradbury's Marionettes, Inc. seems like an appropriate story to mention at this point.
