Give it a while. This is absolutely where it's heading.

Once it's acceptable, or at least understandable, for people to have an "AI romantic partner" you'll start seeing more mainstream ads for devices that let you "take your relationship to the next level."

I mean, it's harmless fun to open yourself up emotionally to a manipulative, sycophantic, cloud-based homunculus with no real assurance of privacy and then feed it tons of blackmail material each time you want to jerk off, right? What could go wrong?
