Pshh fellow comrades....
Then you haven't seen the movie theater and they are showing where they ask the Genini AI to write a break up letter for them.
Anyone that does that, deserves to be alone for the rest of their days.

Ah, yes. I'm mostly on the receiving side of such and haven't had much luck in relationships, but getting ghosted after a few forced words, uneasy looks, maybe even kinda hurtedly-mocking remarks about my personality that I can't change is one thing, it's still human, though unjust, but OK.
While a generated letter with generated reasons and generated emotions feels, eh, just like something from the first girl I cared about, only her parents had amimia, so it wasn't completely her fault that all she said felt 90% fake (though it took me 10 years to accept that what she did actually was betrayal).
Reminds me of the movie Her, where all kinds of heartfelt letters were outsourced to professional agencies.
"Hey Google, please write a letter from my family, addressed to me, that pretends that they love me deeply, and approve of me wholly, even though I am a soulless, emotionless ghoul that longs for the day we'll have truly functional AR glasses, so that I can superimpose stock tickers over the top of their worthless smiles."

Let's say that there is a single player MMO where all the other players are played by AI, but it is done so well that you can't really see the difference from real-human MMO players.
Would you play this? I would not. The fact that there is a human on the other side is important, even though it does not make any practical difference. Same with birthday wishes - that's way Facebook did not automate "Happy birthday!" even though it could.
Would you upload your personal data and voice to Open AI for it to make a a birthday wishes call to your mom? So convinient! She won't know the difference, and you get a 5 bulletpoint summary afterwards! Such a hellscape.
There was an MMO that was single player, DotHack. It has its fans.
the game isn't tricking you though, and it's structured like a regular RPG or it would take 100 hours to get to the ending doing pointless grinding, but you get there just by following the plot.
That was more a MMO themed normal JRPG. It had a central plot focused on the main cast specifically that played out in the scenario of an MMO, with very scripted dialog and sequence of events.
Would you play this? I would not.
Not only will people play it, they will play it in droves because at the end of the day, people are fluid, and fluid flows in predictable patterns.
You and I may be offended at the very idea of playing a game surrounded by fake people acting real, but for the average kid growing up in a world where reality is already a tenuous concept online, it will just be another strange experience in a growing list, and it might be really fun because of the things a game can do with complete control over the population of the "MMO."

Not in a million years. The next generation will though, they won't see any issue with it.
Unless something radically falls apart and makes people spurn electronic media entirely, some great Butlerian Jihad of the 21st century, we are going to see things get a LOT worse before they get better.
Not in a million years. The next generation will though, they won’t see any issue with it.
I guess they will anwser such calls with AI to get a summary anyway...
Great points overall. I guess previous generations thought that a hand-written letter cant be replaced by a digital one, yet here we are.

"Hey Google, raise my children."
People have been trying that for a bit, it's not working too well
Sounds like Rimmer in Red Dwarf, who would then start trying to argue with Google as a whole or fix it.

Dear Sydney...
I agree. This ad was immediately disgusting, cringy, and deflated my already floundering hope for humanity. Google sucks.
