[AI Waifu discussion thread]



Some ideas to start the discussion:

 - Would they replace humans for you?

 - How long until mainstream?

 - Effects on society, women's roles?

 - Physical forms?

 - Paths, dangers?

0% chance they're ever gonna happen.



Here's the thing. If autonomous, human-looking robots were possible, they would never let an individual own one. It would be way too big a safety hazard. You will never get a waifu sex bot and you will never be allowed to free yourself from the gauntlet of the feminine gaze

I think you may be right, but for a different reason: by the time they are possible to do very well, they may not be relevant any more for numerous reasons. Otherwise though I think they will become a huge part of human life.

>- Would they replace humans for you?

Kinda already have, if you count me using elevenlabs to record my favorite actress portraying a girlfriend in "voicemails" I get made for me. I'm not very social as it is. 

>- How long until mainstream?

Already are, considering the above, and Replika, though that last one got borked. 

>- Effects on society, women's roles?

Who cares?

>- Physical forms?

Someday. We're more likely to get a chatbot, and a Stable Diffusion based waifu like Joi being projected onto our TVs, phones, and other devices soon. Hell, it could happen as soon as a few months if someone smarter than me puts it all together. It's certainly possible with a powerful enough GPU, or a "hivemind" of GPUs linked together.

>Would they replace humans for you?

No, for me an AI waifu is like a pawn from Dragons Dogma, she would be an extension of myself



>How long until mainstream?

5 years or less, open source tech needs time and making it usable for the market will also take time. The demand is already there



>Effects on society, women's roles?

Women will have access to these AIs, too. Ugly girls who are distraught with reality will be the prime customers of AI companions engineered by men. The top girls will stay exactly where they are as they will never really be out of demand. Average decent girls will probably suffer the most. The middle class always gets punished.



On the plus side, there will likely be married couples who will enjoy a mediator between them to help through tough times, as well as a third sex partner in the bedroom. This all depends on how good the tech actually gets.



Having an AI companion and guardian will be seen as very common for growing children if they’re as good as we think they’re going to be.



>Physical forms?

10-15 years from now if some form of AGI is accomplished that can help develop them efficiently for a decent cost. AI waifus would not be worth pursuing at all if they couldn’t have a corporeal form



>Paths, dangers?

Birthrate collapse obviously

Yes, Likely byt he time that AI waifus are feasible we'll have hit the exponential tech singularity, allowing full VR neuro-stimulation, eliminating the need for a physical simulacrum. That or we all die and get turned into a Dyson sphere. Either way the era of robo-waifus will be short and swiftly passed by by much more sweeping change.

perhaps we would just grow humans like in brave new world?

>tfw no Ana de Armas gf

Life is a cruel joke.

I am happy not having any woman AI or real. I don't need the nagging of "give me attention anon!"
