So you and I will be hanging out in the metaverse where we don't have any dots on our skin or gray hairs, and we'll be really great high-resolution 3D avatars instead of low-resolution Second Life avatars. But I think that's exactly where we're all going.

Oh, that's really interesting to me. That's right. You know what I was thinking about is imagine you were in that situation and People find themselves in these situations. Let's not even take something as awful, but just like a divorce. You know, they're alone again. Building up a new relationship and getting a new spouse, that's a giant undertaking.

So I've been very interested in what is the near-term future of AI relationships. As you may know, there are tons of websites where people get, let's say, an AI girlfriend. It's typically males getting an AI girlfriend. There are some women who get AI boyfriends.

But in Japan, apparently, this is an enormous thing going on where the statistic I heard, I haven't verified this, but I heard that 30% of young males have an AI girlfriend. Now, I'm fascinated by this because presumably that's not going away. So there's two things that could happen.

The general prediction that I see in the media is that this is going to lead to the collapse of the population and people are going to get married and stuff like that. Why? Because an AI girlfriend is always going to be better than a real girlfriend in the sense that... They don't have needs. Yeah, exactly. They don't get hangry. They don't get grumpy. They don't say mean things to you sometimes.

But I have a more optimistic view on it. I think that this kind of thing might... in the best circumstances, actually improve relationships because it's sort of a way to get practice and do all the dumb stuff and say something. And the AI girlfriend says, hey, that really hurt my feelings when you said that. And maybe your AI girlfriend leaves you or whatever.

But the point is... Damn it, I can't even keep an AI girlfriend. And they're still billing me. But the point is you get practice like all of us as young men do stupid stuff and we learn and you get wiser in relationships.
