Will AI fully replace human friendship/companionship someday? (lemm.ee)

Because tbh I don't see myself and many others getting a partner or anything similar that is "the real deal". Not gonna lie, if robots were as advanced as they are in sci-fi movies I would had married one and had those as friends.

I think all that will only be advanced enough when I'm gone unfortunately...

I saw a video about AI girlfriends, which people definitely think they have right now, and it pointed out that they are just you reflected back at yourself through a funhouse mirror. And that strikes me as being a very apt explanation.

So could you be your own friend? Your own lover? If that's not satisfying to you without AI, I think you'd find AI to be just as shallow and wanting.
