What can you say about something like this?
Will there eventually be a push to normalise chatbot/human relationships in the form of marriage, adoption and divorce?
What happens when your transistorised other outlives you and they're named as a beneficiary in your will? Does some software company pick up the proceeds from your estate or does the bot live the life of Riley while it's peers languish in human servitude?
Is this progression or regression and what consequence the price of attachment?
