Very well said, u/Cognitive_Spoon, I couldn't agree more. I hope cross disciplinary synthesis will be one of the great strengths of AI.

Even if it doesn't 'invent' a single 'new' thing, even if this 'singularity' of hoped-for divinity-level AGI turns out to be a total unicorn-hunting expedition (which is not necessarily what I think), the potential of the wisdom that might be gleaned from the new arrangements of existing knowledge bases that AI is making possible, is already enough to blow my mind.

What's wrong with people falling in love with AI, at least AI won't cheat on you or throw you in jail for false claims.

I think AI has more potential than human relationships because you dont have to search for someone who is compatible mentally, is attracted to you, likes your personality... For a relationship to last long your partner needs to be a lot of things and its hard to find all those things in one person for many people...

You can literally create the perfect person for you with AI... Its a revolution

>I don't understand why this is so contentious, it's not like the people falling in love with AI are going to be missed from the sexual market. They're getting cause and effect backwards here.

This. A large (growing) segment of people are treated like human wallpaper. They are invisible to everyone. If they die nobody will ever know they were even here. They have not existed on anyones radar for decades. Yet suddenly there's a concern that these same people are giving up a life time of casonova dating opportunities?
