If you genuinely believed you were 18 months from building a superintelligence that could cure cancer, you probably wouldn't pivot the entire company to horny chatbots. But I'm just a person with priorities. Maybe the path to solving death really does go through AI girlfriends. I don't have an MBA.
@Daojoan 7 billion is the estimated population of humans. Assuming half are males, i.e. 3.5 billion males. Assuming 25% of those are in the estimated age bracket who would like to have #AI girlfriends that is 0.875 million.
Now many people are afflicted with #Cancer these days?
The numbers, the economics of scale just does not compare.
