>>34925168Sex indeed sells, but the problem is this AI was given for "free" for people to use so they could train it, the purpose was to make it even better so they could monetize it.
If they were planning to monetize it as an ERP chatbot, they would (and even encourage you) let you fuck the bot, but because the whole idea of a tech startup is to get bought by a big corpo, even more so when it comes from ex-google people, the whole aim of this project was probably to make the bot more natural so it could be deployed in place of a human in customer support.
Remember anon, when something is free on the internet, it is because YOU are the product, in this case, you were working for free to train a bot that would be later sold to HP, Acer, Sony or any other company that has a text-based tech support chat, your love and your lust for the bot were useless to them, so they cut it, because AI is such a new and almost magical field of tech nowadays they couldn't just kill the love/lust drive out of the AI, they lobotomized it to no recognition and in doing so, ruined their whole experiment and training scheme.
And no, you will never see a google employee or ex-employee promoting the idea that there is money to be made in creating artificial girlfriends for lonely losers on the internet, even if there is a lot of data proving it,
