There are too many sponsored AI girlfriend apps.
You would think with new strict online safety laws about “protect the kids, show me your ID” this would be the single upside.
But somehow they aren’t blocked. At all. Sponsored, even.

Just pretend. Please. Lie competently.
Right. “Would somebody please think of the children” is almost always not about children, but a means to justify some new oppression or surveillance tech. If they cared, they’d invest spend money to staff police force or implement some of the useful suggestions. Or invest in children’s wellbeing, teach them media literacy or fund some programs so they can get help or spend their time in a better way. Same for adults and the various reasons they resort to AI for companionship.
