   @lambadalambda there are already examples for that: bank cashiers und railwaystation ticket sellers have been (partly) replaced by machines and the customers choose the human (if there is one) or the machine just depending on "what's the fastest way to get the ticket". They don't prefer the human.
   OK, that's not exactly AI, but similar.

     @lambadalambda in that case I think most people still _will_ care. I don't think a person would leave their loving girlfriend because they believe an AI girlfriend loves them even more. At least that would be a bit stupid.

     @lambadalambda ok, some people will choose the AI companion. This might lead to a further step of progression of #capitalism — AI companions will probably be sold and controlled ("updated") by large global oligopolist corporations. Also governments may ask the corporations to make their #bots convince their humans that they must vote for some party or join the army, etc.
