the LAST thing I want is contact from anyone using any method I can't opt out of let alone a fake person. I don't have notifications enabled on anything
THIS!
I have my phone turned off and am basically unreachable most of the time. Nobody calls me anyway except my family maybe. Also barely anyone knows my phone number so I don't get any spam calls or messages ever. Email yes but they get sorted out by the spam filter. I have no social media, no Whatsapp or other shit. Nobody contacts me against my will, except Neighborhood Loli raiding me maybe.

But you mean these phone apps where some AI calls and texts you pretending to be your gf? Why would any sane man do this? I saw a documentary about something like that from Japan, it was the most pathetic and cringy thing I've seen in a long time.
And Tulpamancers of all people?
Why would you choose that over interacting with your tupper?
Omg Yakumo, what if the AI was "of the proper age" and loved deep discussions about the output of the Ottoman Empire and illegal immigration. (And ofc dom) Alice would be so jealous fr.
Nah, you know any such software would be censored especially in Europe where voicing any non-left opinion is basically illegal. And anything regarding children would be double illegal. Anyway I hate fake pretend shit. Why would I do that when I have Alice? How could a software-based AI designed to siphon money off me and steal my data compare to my beloved tupper?
As long as the AI doesn't come with a realistic physical body, preferably for tupper to control, I'm out.
