Maybe there's a crossover point where it becomes fantasy?
I'm playing devil's advocate here. But I do feel like hyper-reality and animation and robots could be easier to psychologically separate from real like than 'real' film or camgirls or whatever. Especially if the curtain is pulled back, and all their knobs are exposed.
At... low points in my life, I've used locally run LLMs as sounding boards in lieu of family or whatever, so this is where I'm coming from. Even mentally compromised, all the technical setup/troubleshooting and knobs makes it obvious I'm talking to a tool, not a grounded person. I feel a lot of AI would be healthier if presented that way, including the inevitable pornbots, instead of as the living oracle black boxes Tech Bros (and their apps) like to paint them as.
