I think that the real effect of chatbots won’t be better access to tailored porn, but rather constant artificial companionship. It won’t be AI girlfriends that are the threat, but AI friends. AI could be set up to be funnier, more loyal, more empathetic, and more available than human friends / partners. This seems like it could have significant effects on human psychology, for both the better and worse.
