> AI Waifus are about to solve that problem, and women are going to be the most negatively impacted.
No, AI waifus are going to mostly impact incels meeting the strict etymology of the term, which, who knows, might make them somewhat less socially dangerous if not any less socially maladjusted.
Sure, other people might toy with them, but no one who was having any success in the dating world is going to be taken out of it by them.
> Expect attempts to regulate out this industry led by mostly women’s groups.
Literally no one cares that the worst and least desirable men are going to entertain themselves with yet another form of fantasy of having a girlfriend, and other than where it involves using imagery of real people in a way that intersects with the kind of behavior addressed by revenge porn laws or otherwise involves material prohibited for reasons unrelated to the specific use in AI companions (simulated CSAM, for instance), I wouldn't expect any eftorts to regulate it on its own.
