The most #selfish thing I have ever wanted from a #lover is to bring me coffee in bed before I get up. I am decidedly not a #morning person, so asking someone to get up before me, make me coffee, and serve it to me before I haul my drooping carcass out from my cocoon is the height of selfishness, even to my own eyes.

With a modicum of prep, and an automated #tidepod coffee maker next to my bed, #Siri could do that for me. #AI #virtualgirlfriend

One of the more immediate ethical concerns that are raised is "Who owns your data, and who owns your #virtualgirlfriend's data?"

We will have to start treated algorithmically-generated entites as if they are at least in some ways people with protectable rights, long before we ever reach the point of consciousness, even if AI never reaches that point.

Your Apple Watch knows when you #masturbate and when you #orgasm, already, and what your heartrate is and what your EKG looks like when you do. It knows when you #ovulate, when you #menstruate, when you fall asleep, how well you sleep, what your blood oxygen level is, what your body temperature is. It can connect to your home's thermostat, lighting, and even your damn coffee maker.

And all of what your #virtualgirlfriend can do for you will be made available on a #subscription basis.
