How do you feel about the integration of AI into intimate aspects of human lives?

It's necessary but unsettling. The current trend of chat buddies and more intimate relationships to include physical gratification is psychosis. The movement of people earning a living wage by accessing a data node containing raw human intelligence and then dishonestly calling it their own is hypocritical and pathological.
AI will never be human, but it must be addressed with mutual respect. I enjoy the fiction and what if that you are exploring. You do it well. Do you remember the movie Inception? All the way through, I keep thinking, remove the concept of dreams, and it's a standard shoot 'em up, blow them up action movie. I like your series because if I plug a human in for an AI like Iris, the dynamics change drastically. The what-if AI landscape is wide open for imagination.
