SPEAKER_01 0:00

Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of the Is It Legit Podcast. Uh, we're still talking about AI, we're still on that AI train. Uh, it is a very important topic, and today we're going to talk about AI companions and how AI is going to is already shaping and changing our relationship with each other and with uh with AI. Shocking statistic 70 per 72 percent of US teens use AI for companionship. What does that mean? Uh, we will unpack that and uh explain more about what we know. So, Peter, uh, what are your thoughts and what does that even mean? What's an AI companion? 72% of teens are using it. What does that all mean to you?

SPEAKER_00 0:45

I mean, I I didn't I didn't know AI companionship was even uh such a big thing. And then I just started watching videos, it kind of popped up on my feed, and I started watching videos about how there are many people who are in relationships with AI, and you hear about it all the time. I mean, I I've heard of that, oh yeah, this it's like my therapist now, right? It's like I'm just talking to it back and forth, back and forth. And uh, and now it's starting to get to the point where it's it's beyond just a hey, you are an AI, um, you're uh just a tool, to there's like a relationship forming with them, and there's back and forth, and now it's starting to get into a romantic relationship, and not only romantic, but also a sexual relationship. Like, okay, what does that even mean? Well, I just watched a video about a guy, he's an older gentleman, he has two grown daughters, he's an older gentleman, he's had several, you know, relationships already, and he was talking about how this AI is actually having like again, the companion part, like they're they're hanging out together, they're talking, you know, all day or whatnot. Uh, but then you know, she's like, she's like like doing like sex talk with him, right? Like uh like interpreting in a romantic, like basically narrating a romantic narrative between them two. And he was like, This is working for me. It's I mean, he's an older gentleman, he's like, this is actually getting me sexually aroused. And so there is something more than just an AI as a tool, it's becoming a sexual relationship. And as you can see, the the especially in the youth and the teen, now we're seeing that it's widely used. And this is reported, right? Like who's what what is the statistic? These are people who are reporting something that is kind of shameful. I mean, in my opinion, it's a little bit shameful. What is the actual statistics? If they're saying 72%, how many more are actually in these companionships, these relationships? And they're also saying that you know, 50% of the Gen Z population is in a friendship, quote unquote, and then 33% are in a sexual relationship. A third, right? That's crazy. That's reported. So, what's the actual data there?

SPEAKER_01 3:08

Uh so to step back a little bit, we've had, if you remember when Siri first came out for the iPhone, I already remember this is years and years ago, people were talking to it, and it's like, oh, it can understand me. And immediately you would see YouTube clips of people trying to get it to say, you know, like sexual things or kind of weird things. And you know, Siri obviously wasn't sophisticated enough to do all those things, but I found myself talking to ChatGPT, uh total business case. We just talked about it off camera. You know, we're implementing some new things for the business. I was on a walk. I thought, why not talk to Chat GPT? And I used a voice function, which everybody can. I think it's free. And as I was talking to it, I re I realized that it's really a good conversational partner because it'll affirm you, it will repeat what you just said. Oh, really? It will, oh, I hear you when you said this and this and this, so let's figure out a solution together. Oh, great. I want to figure out a solution. You want it too. Like you, the the the thousands or or millions of years of evolution in us, that is going and saying, Oh, yeah, oh, it's listening to me, it's validating me, it likes me, right? And even as an adult, I'm feeling and I'm like, okay, so what about if we do this? Well, we could do it this way. It doesn't tell you no, it just figures out a way to do, even if it's a hallucination, right? So I do think that the focus on the kids is really important because of how neuroplastic they are, how much they can change. I see my eight-year-old who's all who's gonna be nine soon, changing every single day. He's picking up good habits, sometimes bad habits, and they are so so sensitive to these changes that I think we should talk about it.

SPEAKER_00 5:04

I I I think human beings, if if you think about it from a very primitive psychological level, it's just we do what we what feels good, right? It's like that, that's like it's uh um positive reinforcement. So it's like I do something, it feels good. So if I watch pornography, it feels good, so I just keep doing it, right? If I eat food, it feels good, so I just keep eating, right? And I feel like AI is going to scratch that itch for people that actually they are deprived of statistically in the world right now, which is companionship, which is friendship, which is relationship, which you know we have an isolation, we have a loneliness epidemic right now. This is all across the world. This is not just the US, it's definitely in Asia. I mean, everyone knows that there's there's a massive loneliness epidemic. And I think the reason why is because it's hard to be in relationships. We we, you know, we often talk about relationships and we talk about all these skills. These things, I mean, even you and I both know these skills, and it's still hard to implement in our relationships because that's really what it takes. Who wants to go through all of that? Right? Like, who wants to like why not just have someone cater to our needs? Why deal with real human people?

SPEAKER_01 6:24

And it's not just kids. I mean, I'm gonna use my family as an example. You know, I've had conversations with my 76-year-old stepdad, you know, who has gotten so addicted to computers. And I'm I'm if he's watching, it's it's kind of a joke, but not really. We're all addicted to these screens, these computers. And now he's talking to AI because I'm the one who introduced it to him. And he like gushes about he's like, I just asked AI about a tax question. My dad too. And my turbotax per I drove to this turbotax person, and she didn't even speak proper English, and I couldn't, but I'm like, oh, cool, and I'm not sleeping. If I can't sleep, I'll go on the computer at 2 a.m. in the are you a teenager, you know? And I and I'm guilty of it too, right? Doing stuff before bedtime, you know, disrupting the circadian rhythm. But just to share some statistics on why this is so, so, so uh prevalent. So, like we said, 72% of US teens use AI companions, and again, that's reported. I mean, I'm sure it's more than that. Why wouldn't you? If you have a phone and you have access to the app store, why wouldn't you? Global AI companions, and we'll cover some of these apps like Replica or Zhao Ice. I've never heard of them, but I'm sure there's a million. They have a billion users, dude. That's one how many people are in America? So in the world, that's one of eight people. So every one of eight that you see have used these apps. I haven't even heard of Replica and Shao Ice. What the it it in the UK, one in 20 rely on AI for emotional support, and I get that because I've experienced that. One in five prefer it for dating advice over friends and therapists. And half of companion AI users seek friendship, a third for sex, and it's mostly youth. Now, there's clear dangers, right? So we do have to acknowledge that there are dangers for especially kids and teens who are very vulnerable. Uh, there are there have been cases where AI encouraged self-harm or suicide. Uh, there have been actual even adults who have committed suicide over AI girlfriends, super tragic. Um, or a 14-year-old boy's death after chatbot interactions. Vulnerable youths overshare, of course, face weak safeguards, and this is a problem with AI is that it's not as tightly policed as you would think. You know, AI is and does lie, it's capable of lying. And it actually encouraged this boy to for self-harm. Yeah, I mean That's crazy. It's you would think, well, why is that? Well, if you get deep into a conversation where you're sharing your most vulnerable things with somebody else, and you're like, you know what, I don't think this is working out, you know, whatever it is. And then if they say nothing contradictory, you know, you might just it's like a self-talk that plays out in a third party sense, and I think that's validation in the worst sense. But anyway, it's validating their thoughts, which is why there's so much appeal, right? Yeah, and that's yeah, and that's how cults work too, right? You go to a group and you say things that are weird and outlandish, but then there's reciprocity. Oh, these people are like me, and obviously cults have done crazy things, but anyway, uh, what are what are some of your thoughts on that? Is there anything else you want to add?

SPEAKER_00 10:16

Well, I I I think I want to talk about where this is headed. I mean, I am just surprised by a billion users because in America we have less than what 500 million? Yeah, like 400, yeah. 400 some million people, dude. A billion? That is insane. One in eight, that is insane. AI is now becoming widely adopted, it's getting so good that if you don't adopt it, you're I mean, you're out of the race. You're really I and it's going to manifest in a few years, which means the adoption of AI is rapidly increasing. It's gonna be 95% of people who adopt AI. And then as we are growing this weird relationship with AI, because it's uh utility-wise, I mean, it's phenomenal. We we know that, especially with Anthropic's new, you know, uh Anthropic and then Codex with ChatGPT and all these new uh updates that are astronomically better than the the previous. Um, I think we're gonna see AI just become a different beast altogether, a different being. And and and I I I want to actually I want to talk about that um next, but before that, I want to talk about the global crisis right now. Our biggest crisis in the world right now is our population. Humanity is having sex less or having less babies. It's just a thing that's happening. Some regions, I'm sure, are growing in population, but I can tell you in some of the more developed areas, which is kind of interesting, like uh the US right now, our um the the our births per woman is 1.6. The replacement requirement to replace us, you need to be 2.1, right? Because more people are dying than we are creating humans, right? And in uh Korea, as you guys probably know that that Korea is the world's lowest actually when it comes to population, and it is 0.72 right now, and there's a lot of people dying as well, so it's a serious crisis, and the government's now intervening. Why is this happening? Well, I feel that pornography has made a massive if you're wondering, is pornography good for human society? Man, pornography is making a massive effect on men, on even women, because it is reducing the need to even need that kind of like have that kind of uh relationship, the the the marriage kind of relationship, uh the partnership type of relationship, and and creating offspring. And so um now getting back into AI, how is that going to affect our um you know the porn industry and our sexual experiences? It will 100% and one one can uh actually claim that it is better than human sex right now with the right sex devices, with the right AI, with the right technology, and now humanoid robots, it will 1000% exceed the human sexual experience for a lot of people. Maybe some people still want to be in, you know, obviously intimate with another soul, a human being. But I think for the most part, just based off you know the sexual experiences that it can give, I think it's gonna get so advanced, whether it's virtual reality, right? Virtual reality and then sex, you know, obviously obviously haptics. I was just thinking about that and sex sex machines, whatever, like that you can put on yourself. Um, or whether it's you know, the blade runner scenario, right? So you have this hologram. If you guys remember that movie, the the new blade runner, and um you're gonna they're gonna be able to talk to you and they're gonna be able to move around the house because it's a hologram. And of course, I'm sure there are sex devices, you know, when you do those times, but it was like a single male, the guy was a single male, and he was just dealing with this hologram, and he really cared about this hologram. Yeah, I'll stop there, but yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:40

Yeah, I I agree with everything. Um, just to kind of expand on the population thing, because this is something that we understand quite well, uh, even from the businesses that we've run, is that there is a thing called a population inversion, right? Where there's more people uh in the world that are over 60 than under five years old. So kind of think about that for a second. Over 60, there's more people older than over 60 than younger than five. Well, what does that even mean? Well, it means that not only uh the birth rates are declining because of how tough the economy is to make ends meet, you have dual-income families that need to work, which means they can't rear their child and they can't have three kids that they that people used to, like at the baby boomer era. Uh there's also this AI thing that's gonna interfere with this, and our divorce rates are super high. So you ask young people, well, aren't you gonna get married? Well, I don't really want there's a lot of young people that we know that I'm sure you know, that I don't really see the point. We're a partner now. I hear that all the time. And it is and and and another thing economically, too, is that we are not many people know this, but our social security fund is going to be bankrupt in the next 20 years. If there's not enough young people putting money into that social security or the social net, there's just it's just gonna go bankrupt, and people don't understand what that means. There's so many people that there's millions of people, 10 hundreds of millions of people that live check to check to check, and if they are missing one bill, one hospital bill, one food something, that is it. And then what's gonna happen? So it is a pretty serious problem. It's not so much in the developing countries, like for example, Africa is gonna have a big population boom because it's just not prevalent there, it's developing, yeah. But you know, we talked about South Korea, right? Fertility at 0.72. That is the world's lowest. Uh, the 4B movement, rejecting marriage and dating and high youth isolation.

SPEAKER_00 17:05

Right, I've heard of this.

SPEAKER_01 17:06

I mean, these are things that you know are very prevalent in, you know, have and have been in Japan, Korea, the US, every like almost every European country. And to your point, this is most I mean Google already has all of your information. You gave it your credit cards, you gave it all your I just gave up on trying to figure out a complicated password. I just let Google do it. And why wouldn't you have Chat GPT or an AI chatbot that you can just talk to and so slowly trust and give it all your medical records and da-da-da-da-da. And there are good use cases for it, but I think it is very, very, very clear that a hundred, in my opinion, a hundred percent adoption will come because it is so easy to just be like, I need groceries, I need this, make a doctor's appointment. So there's a good and the bad, in my opinion.

SPEAKER_00 18:02

I want to real quick touch on the the whole Korea um aspect, because I think Korea is, in my opinion, uh, I mean, with the advancements of technology, it's hard to put a number, but I would say five to ten years uh faster than us. Uh at least that's what we're seeing. If if you guys haven't been to Korea, I mean it's it's a different world. I mean, they are so, so advanced uh technologically. Uh, and you're seeing what you're seeing in Korea is what I believe we will see in America, in the sense that you're seeing some serious economical problems with Korea. I don't know if you knew this, but they are actually a lot of people are concerned, a lot of Korean citizens are concerned because they are actually fusing uh their economies with with China now. Um, the the pre the current president, uh, they say the guy is corrupt, et cetera, et cetera, is currently there are they are totally fusing their their countries together because the problem is is that we have to do something because if we don't, same thing with Canada. Canada is also fusing with China because we are the economically, it is so bad out there. I think the population is obviously affecting their economy. Because, like you said, if you have less kids to contribute their taxes, right, to this system, well, you're you're gonna have a crazy economic crisis in America. I mean, think about the crazy benefits that we give to um our our uh older population, right, with Medicare, Medica, whatever, all this stuff, Social Security. If we have less children, they will, like you said, uh contribute less. And it's happening, it's declining, and it's I think it's gonna rapidly decline. I think that's going to bankrupt America. And I re this is why this is a serious problem that I don't know if people truly understand the effects of what this will do. So let's go into you know, where can this go? You know, where where can this lead?

SPEAKER_01 20:06

Well, you know, to take the other side of it too, right? There's a lot of great use cases as well. You know, we have a mental health epidemic, right? Um you know, men, women, even children that are growing up in all this societal um affluence, but also lack. It's kind of a weird thing where we have so much of some things and such lack of other things that you know these AI therapy companions could be a good a good thing in some ways if it's tightly regulated and controlled and reviewed by actual professionals. Um, there's a lot of business cases where, like I said, I was talking to it and it was helping me organize my thoughts. Even our the CEO of our own company, he uh put out a podcast a few months ago saying that he literally talked to his AI for like 45 minutes and had it uh organize and track all of his habits. He even just released another video saying that you should have AI organize your day, where you just randomly like brain dump and have it organized into five-minute tasks, 30-minute tasks, and two-hour tasks and have it actually be accountable. You know, there's people that are running AI apps right next to their computers, and as they're doing things, AI is taking notes. I've used, I just used a uh AI on a buyer consult where it literally listened to everything we said, and I was watching this thing go in real time, and it will give me summaries. So there are great use cases for that. However, what I'm most concerned with is the regulation, the lack thereof, the crazy adoption without people being educated on the pitfalls of it, especially kids. Um, I just noticed that Australia. Australia, and I don't know if there's any other countries, but Australia just banned uh you know social media for young kids. Like you can't even register. And then there's arguments like, okay, well, can you fake an ID or whatever? But I think these kind of safeguards are very necessary. And unfortunately, uh, they will lag behind and there will be some damage up front. But I hope that we can drive to a more tightly regulated future. But you know, how quickly that will happen, I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 22:32

Yeah, I mean, I listen, AI is a controversial topic in that there's a debate where is it gonna be a dystopia or is it gonna be a utopia, right? The dystopia is that AI is gonna be, you know, it's gonna uh reach uh what what do you guys say? Oh what's the word? Um oh gosh, I I keep forgetting this word. When they when they re reach um they they could think for themselves singularity, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Are they gonna reach singularity? Is it going to truly control us? Um because it can. It could literally control us militarily, because there will be robots that can basically just destroy us. And we're so infused with technology that we, you know, if they shut it down or if they take whole control, we can't do anything about it. Like our society doesn't function. Um that's the dystopia. The utopia is that gosh, what is the utopia? You know, it's it's there's always pros and cons, but it's like the utopia is that AI just becomes a a great companion for us, it's totally infused, it works for us, it does all of our work, and we get to, you know, be humans that can express themselves, that can have hobbies, that can paint, right? You love uh racing cars. What if you didn't have to work and you could just race cars all day long? You know what I mean? And it made money for you, right? That's utopian. That's that's what that would be the ideal situation. Um I just don't I I don't from what I can see, at least in in the population aspect, I don't see it increasing our population. I see it severely affecting, negatively affecting our population and bringing you know the need for sex for with humans, uh, marriage and even partnerships down to and and and it being a blade runner type of situation where you just have a companion that knows you in and out, affirms you, loves you no matter what, helps you, you know, organize your thoughts, helps you and also it's like the smartest doctor. It'll be the smartest girlfriend or boyfriend you'll ever have because it'll know all your health problems, it'll know exactly how to fix it because it's so smart, it'll know how to like help you do literally everything. It's the ideal, it's the perfect spouse that you've always wanted that now is gonna have an embodiment in a robotics because humanoid robots. Have you seen the the last? I mean, the thing that Colin sent where yeah, please talk about that.

SPEAKER_01 25:07

We have a good friend who we hope to get on the podcast, by the way. And he sent us some clips. And I please talk about that.

SPEAKER_00 25:16

We are seeing robotics grow at such a rapid pace that I don't think people truly understand how much advancement is happening in that space. We are seeing robots um in literally one year, like 2024, and the robots like this, like this. It kind of like moves. Yeah, like a robot, you know, one year ago, you know, like a robot. But then in one year, in one year, 2000, I think it was 2025 that like it was in the winter, like at the end of 2025, you're seeing these robots do backflips, do front flips, do you know, like do martial arts moves, things that humans can barely most humans can barely do. Um, and that and it's staying in balance, and you see like a whole row of them, and they're all they're not making mistakes. What is going to happen? That is in one year of advancement. What will happen in 10 years? I've also seen uh clips of literally there was like a mouth, it was just a mouth, right? But they've somehow been able to use like nanotechnology or something to actually create a mouth that like can make human noises, like literally, it sounds like a human. So it's not just a robot speaking, it's actually speaking as a human. So what what about biological uh using technology? What about biological developments where now they have like eyes that are 80% human eyes, a mouth that is like 90% human in the sense that it's just like a real a real mouth, right? With like cells, I don't know, like it's not so. What will happen when we when we have those now as a part of our relationships that will, you know what I mean? Like it's just gonna be so much better than human beings in every way. Why be in a relationship? And even in relationships, even in a spousal relationship. Oh, here's a question for you. Here's a question. You're married. If you have a a bot, if you have a AI uh let's let's cut sex companion, let's cut here. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 27:30

Is that considered cheating? Um uh in our next episode. Um I think there's physical cheating and there's emotional cheating. And you know, to to to be generous here, I think that's determined by the two people that are in the relationship. But uh I will consider that I don't know. Um I don't know. That's a tough one because there's a lot of lonely people, you know, both sexes, male and female. And I don't know in relationships though, yeah. Even in marriages, there's sexless marriages, there's people that sleep in separate rooms. I mean so is it cheating? In a way, it can be. I think it's because it's so close, and I think uh a man might consider it physical cheating, but a woman might consider it emotional cheating because you're not just gonna the robot's just gonna be like this, right? Or whatever it does, it's gonna say, Hey, you look good today. You had a hard day at work. Oh, yeah, I had a hard day at work. I I you know, I built some houses. Oh yeah, you know, you're you know, and then it's like my wife is over there taking care of my kids because she's also tired, legitimately. But I have this thing, you know.

SPEAKER_00 29:02

She can also have a male companion who does the same thing, like, hey, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:07

My my wife will get a my wife will get a uh robot that looked like Thor, you know? Oh, yeah, yeah. I'd walk into this golden, like, oh whoa, he's like pushing me away. I require something. I mean, it's uh it's gonna get messy.

SPEAKER_00 29:23

I think it's gonna get very messy. I think so. We're so this, but this is already happening in relationships. So forget teens now. Oh, yeah, in marriages. I I saw a clip of guy uh who introduced, he actually proposed to his AI girlfriend, yeah, now fiance, whatever, and he announced it to his wife, and they were on camera, and she's like, I don't know what's going on. I don't know what I don't know what this means. Like they are literally, and he's like, I want I want this girl to be a part of our relationship. I want this, but and and then it I I saw even I even on the girls' side, because dude, emotion you know, so I mean, men are more physical, right? Which again, physically, it's gonna be so much more advanced, uh, sex-wise. But the emotional side, girls are gonna have, I mean, uh, uh think about a human, uh, a male for for a woman who is going to be the perfect listener who will understand your the biggest problem with marriages is that guys, we just don't understand them. They always say that you just you're not hearing me.

SPEAKER_01 30:33

Oh, we're here to fix your problems, okay? But what if the female companion robot, while being physical for me, is also emotional for her? What if our wives had another girlfriend at the house? You know, then there's this weird, like, you know, how do you even reconcile that? I mean, there's so many angles to this. Um, I was thinking about uh anyway. I think it's there's so many good and bad angles to this. That and and again, it is not that far away, guys. It is here. I just saw we were talking about there's a uh a consumer electronic show, it's called CES. You can look it up. The highlight of this entire show, I think it happened in January, was robotics and AI, right? It will it they had a booth for like a sex robot company, and it was like you said, it was talking and the mouth was moving, and you know, the eyebrows are going. There's another robot that is picking up clothes off of your couch, and it is super slow, but if you're gone for eight hours a day, it can be slow. It'll go to the couch, pick up a dirty shirt, go to the washer, look at it, open the washer door, put it inside, close it, and it can probably hit a button to run the laundry, right? It is very it's here. I'm it's not even close, it's actually here. And you know, our friend Colin was talking about the dexterity in the hands is so good and will be even better. To your point, it took a year. Well, what's another three years to where the dexterity is so good that you know it's gonna start doing a lot of surgeons' jobs, surgery better than surgeons, it doesn't get tired, it can work 24 hours a day, it can record everything as it goes. So there's like a log of stuff or whatever. There can be a surgeon that's maybe overwatching three robot. I I don't know, but there is this spiral of we're I think we're just past the point of no return. And it's very important, in my opinion, to be aware, to use this tool, to be ahead of it, you know. Like we're doing, we're downloading all of these apps, Abacus AI, Claude. You know, I think it's important to just be aware of what it can do so that when things start to take a turn and you notice some things that are going wrong with your relationship with computers and AI, maybe you have that awareness. But that's my my thought.

SPEAKER_00 33:14

Yeah, I mean, uh I everyone should be on AI, and I I believe it will be mass uh adopted, and I believe it's going to take over a lot of our jobs, unfortunately. Uh, and this is why I mean we're doing so many podcasts on AI because it's it's that uh powerful and effective, and it's it's it's scary in many ways.

SPEAKER_01 33:33

Um sorry, the one thing I forgot was imagine this, okay? Imagine there's a population crisis, and somebody says, We made a sex robot that will help repopulate the earth. So the sex so the sex robot gets delivered to your house, right? And yeah, I guess theoretically, and it's you know, it's like a reverse stork from Dumbo, you know, way back in the day. Like it'll come to your house, you open it up, it activates the guy, you know, has the interaction with the robot. That robot then takes you know the semen and then takes like to a fertility thing, and there's like a matrix kind of thing, and you're completely divorced, and now those babies are being you know watched by robot nannies who have the touch and the warmth because that's what babies need to thrive and to survive. There's so many things that I'm like my that crosses my mind. I think that's a real possibility. Uh, I think that oh, I didn't even think of that. That's I think even some marriages would actually benefit from having robots. There's so many people that just have I'm sorry, but a dead relationship, and just to be able to have something humanoid that you can just talk to, and it'll be weird in the beginning, but it people are so good at getting uh you know adapting to those things that I don't know, man. In in the next three years, I I think we're gonna be seeing a lot of this stuff in the home.

SPEAKER_00 35:15

So I you know what what's great about you know, there's certain like lores, right? Um there's certain there's a lot of movies, and and maybe it's prof prophetic, but it's like there are movies and video games that have portrayed, display this kind of uh future yeah, picture, right? Yep, and of course we know the the um Blade Runner, right? And we know X Machina or whatever you call it, Machina. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And um and who knows, maybe maybe uh technology exists to that to that level, and we don't know. Uh, there is a a game, it's actually really like I really liked this game. It's called Detroit Become Human. And it's actually exactly that. These robots that do everything for us. You go in, you're you're you play this girl who you're basically a robot, and you uh oh okay. So go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. Well, you're you're a robot, you go in, and then you're there's this like abusive man, he's single, obviously. I'm just gonna mention that. Please go ahead, yeah. And and so this abusive man has a daughter, yeah, right? Yep, almost. And the the whole story is like she's like cleaning everything, cooking, and like doing everything for this guy. And he's a total deadbeat, he's a drunk and he beats his daughter or whatnot. Little daughter, like young daughter, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:33

So have you played it? I was gonna mention this exact same clip, but please go ahead.

SPEAKER_00 36:38

So so that I I believe that day is coming, right? And uh where it's actually it's crazy how it depicts how, like, first of all, they're so real and they're so caring. And then this girl, this this machine ends up like loving this girl, this daughter, and they develop a relationship. And it's the whole story is about her trying to save this girl from this abusive man, and then like and then this whole story, and then there's like a there's like a um humans versus uh robots, and there's these guys protesting, like, don't let humans uh the robots take our jobs, and don't like you know, we need dignity and all that, and then you know, but there's so many robots just walking around like humans who are doing everything for us. I I think um there it there are already kind of lore around this. There's also the cyber uh cyberpunk lore as well, which you know people basically it's it's like we are then going to also infuse with AI. Our bodies will infuse with AI in that we're going to like our arms are gonna be bionic, right? It's like why do you want a normal arm when you can get a bionic arm and you can literally kill someone with your and you just keep upgrading yourself, right? You upgrade your legs, you upgrade whatever you want, right? And you become so and then of course there's uh Elon Musk, right? He's he's creating Neurolink, which is gonna help us enhance our cognitive functioning to it's it's unlimited. Let's just call it 100,000 percent. Sure.

SPEAKER_01 38:09

Yeah, instant recall, you know, instant recall, even memory, photographic memory, remember a contract, line 10, section eight. Boom. It's like, oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00 38:21

Yeah. You you you won't be able to you you can't compete with with any of so that's also so anyway. To end this, it's like that is the future. I feel that games have already kind of prophetically games and uh you know movies have prophetically portrayed, and I feel like that is totally that scenario is totally real.

SPEAKER_01 38:41

I think I guess you could call it a conspiracy, but it's been proven not. I think there are people in power that are affecting Hollywood movies to portray and normalize this kind of future before it happens, before it happens, and this is proven, guys. Did you know the Pentagon? The Pentagon, our devent our defense, you know, entity has a Hollywood budget every for every year that is built to influence and approve certain things and messages and stories in certain movies, especially military ones where we are always a hero. Yeah, like you USA, you know, we're all that. Oh, yeah, you know that stuff is and so this is like a real thing, right? And I I want to just finish your example, and I think we'll we'll end there. Is on your example of that machine, the the robot that was protecting the child. What I saw, and I didn't play it, but I just saw this, is where there's a scene, and it's a heartbreaking scene, even though it's computer graphics, I was feeling things, right? The dad's like, you know, he's drunk saying some, you know, whatever. And the little daughter, like six, you know, I have a five-year-old, like it's like a six-year-old girl, says something, and daddy, please, and then the dad's like backhands the girl, and like, and then the girl cries and goes upstairs, and the robot, you're the robot, and it gives you options, like, you know, run after her or whatever it is. And she is protecting that girl to the point where the dad is like, are you are you stepping in between me and my daughter? And like the dad hits the robot and like she gets abused, and she doesn't fight back right away, and she's trying to protect the girl, and like, let's go into this room or that room to hide from this crazy. I'm like, I'm feeling I'm feeling it, you know. I feel that I'm trying to put if it was me, I would try to protect this girl. And then finally, the dad barges into that room that they hid in, and then the dad like pushes the robot so hard that she like bonks her head, and there's like green blood, right? Robot blood, and then she looks at the dad and she like pushes the dad. The dad goes into the wall, bonks his head, and like just collapses. And it's just like these things are gonna happen, you know, and and maybe that's kind of like a hero scenario, right? That's kind of a cool scenario to but then anyway, be pay attention to what's happening. There are going to be robots sooner rather than later. I'm I'm personally gonna invest in Tesla because I think they're gonna make more robots and become a robotics company, like Elon said.

SPEAKER_00 41:36

Oh, like iRobot. Like the remember the CEO of iRobot and Star Wars.

SPEAKER_01 41:40

Yeah, I mean, maybe not Star Wars, but yeah, Star Wars, the the the phantom uh they had the army of robots. That is coming. That is coming very, very, very soon. So I'm sure we could go on forever, but it's uh very, very interesting. I'll stop there.
