This is the one thing missing from my interactions with AI. If successful, this will change everything. If you thought people were getting AI boyfriends and girlfriends before, wait until you see this.

One important thing missing from AI boyfriends is they aren't capable of paying half your rent.

Na, we'll get micro cube houses first with shared bathrooms/kitchens and everyone will just be in their room with their VR helmet on not reacting with anyone else real.

I think it's interesting that people associate being in VR with being unable to interact with other people. I personally think it promotes living with other people because it reduces conflict.

Like, if you and your kids want to watch different movies on the living room TV then you can just give it to them and use XR glasses for yourself.

Fighting with your kids is not the appropriate kind of interaction to have with your kids.

As an adult you have the luxury of not living in a false dichotomy where the only two options are VR or fighting.

As a parent you have the responsibility of spending time with the kids when they're young. You can watch your shows later.
