Seen in a video, looked it up. Yep, it's real. Unironically.

Its very easy to make fun of this... awful horrible thing. But I truly pity those who see this and think "I wont have to be lonely anymore!".l
There has been bouts of extreme loneliness in my life, and I really wonder if this came out back then, what would I have done, purchase one of these? Waste my money for a machine that listens to my every move? Haunting to think about.
I'm not exactly making fun of this. Not at all really. Shudderingly dystopian.
The video the still is taken from talks about exactly these things btw. Dr Fatima about AI.
The people crying that the loneliness epidemic isnt real will drive plenty of vulnerable people to this anyway. Just be glad to clear of it.
