What a lot of people fail to realize is that the whole industry is based on selling a fantasy. It's no different then getting the girl friend experience from a prostitute. I don't think there's a meaningful difference between a real person and an AI in these industries.

IMO it's only a problem when the customer doesn't understand that they're buying an illusion.

    +1. But I wonder how many know it’s an illusion.

    I’m the wrong person to analyze this though, as I do not get why people engage in these services. Like, I get roleplaying, I’ve daydreamed or even written out long fantasies, but why would I (for example) pay for some girl to talk it out on the phone?

    …Much less gawk at some influencer on Insta?

    What’s the point?
