This is the end game dystopian hellscape technocrats want: subscription relationships with bots
"We're raising the monthly price to continue talking to your AI friend."
It looks like your friendship has progressed to the serious relationship stage, would you like to pay an extra $300/mo to unlock marriage?
"To cancel your subscription, please send a signed and notarized Original Petition for Divorce that has been filed with the Family Division of the District Court of the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station where we are incorporated."
Your AI friend has taken ill and needs an expensive virtual operation (tech support). Pay $$$ or it may die!
Your AI friend has suddenly died and we have automatically billed your account for your new AI friend relationship.
Get divorced and the corporation gets half your assets.
