I'd expect many people to have both. What I'm concerned about is how, eventually, human companionship might just not be very compelling compared to a good language model.

An "AI" partner has no needs of its own. It can be as endlessly loving or supportive or kinky or whatever as you need it to be. Once they can also give legitimately good advice I can imagine a lot of people finding real human relationships to be not much more than a pain in the ass. Human relationships are hard!

I'm glad this concerns you. This should concern people.

And you're right, human relationships are hard. But that's the beauty of them, is that you have to work hard for them (Not so hard it's toxic, of course).

Another thing that makes relationships wonderful is that it's about your partner as much as you. If my former relationships had been only about me and not my partners, that would've been unbelievably boring and unbearable.

Idk, that's just my two cents. Like I said, I hope we don't reach a world where people choose to have an AI partner over a human one if the former is an option, but only time will tell.
