    Honestly, this exact scenario playing out with AI lovers of both anatomies and getting bad-enough that people decide learning to understand and put up with eachother’s non-sense is the better option … is the best chance our species has in this and future generations.

    Otoh, we all know its mostly men, and this represents maybe a bottleneck we need to weed-out the ones that will never get the lesson. Here’s hoping there’s enough genetics in it at-play to actually eliminate a substantnal amount of the right(very specific levels/attributes of NP, gullibility and psychopathy) things, and not pointlessly cost our species a bunch of genetic diversity that could otherwise hang-around.

    If that second paragraph seems harsh/eugenic, understand its the only potential possitive I see along this path, and almost certainly accidental if it works-out that way in the end at all. I believe anyone trying to make such happen on-purpose is insane and a bad person, promise.

    More likely, our grand-kids will all be fucking robots until they die, and “their” kids won’t be so-much theirs as clones/test-tube-babies the robots raise, should they for some absurd reason deign to keep flesh-bags around at all.

      Doesn’t even have to be genetic, could be a matter of nurture as well (yes, I am well aware that this is not guaranteed either).

      As for the robots scenario, I’d imagine the robots would be programmed/trained/prompted to act like Stepford spouses or something, so perhaps they’d keep the children around purely because that’s what they do.

    Given that there are fixed costs associated setting up a WaaS setup that would be inefficient to do on a case-by-case basis, this seems like a prime opportunity for franchising.
