    People do it now with stuff like Replika. Think of how they’re treated. Perhaps in a society with lots of AI, embodied or not, people would care less. But it’s definitely a little weird now especially with how limited AI is.

    If some general human level is AI emerged like in Her, I’m sure people would fall in love with it. There’s plenty of lonely people who are afraid or unable to meet people day to day. I think I’d see them with pity as they couldn’t make do with human connection, at least until I understood how advanced and how much interiority this new AI had - then I’d probably be less judgemental.
