Yes, it's inevitable. The real question is how soon will it happen and how widespread will it be? Like a spoiler, but future me has started watching anime again and it makes me wonder, like if I had the opportunity to have some super fulfilling slice of life-esque rom-com romance with some LLM in some virtual vr world....would I even have a purpose for an IRL female? Cringeworthy to say out loud, but honestly it’s hard to know. Like at that point what would be the reason to say no other than embarrassment. But then why be embarrassed? The people who I'd be embarrassed about sounding lame around would be potential mates...but those females I would presumably not care about since I have the perfect LLM girlfriend in my virtual world.



Even then, that makes me wonder LLM friendships are less crazy of an idea and that's ALREADY happening where people would rather share secrets or get advice from LLMs than the people who surround them...so then if you have an LLM girlfriend AND LLM friends then you are even further removed from society so that embarrassment you would feel for these relationships would be even further ignored since the only people you respect (the LLMs) don't care about your "Cringe" relationships....



Man...this would get quite funky....potentially a really disconnected world if not handled properly.
