Her (2013)

[Ares Johnson]

Now this looks interesting, and these are some interesting takes on how such tech might play out. It is indeed possible that such AIs may try to steer us away from being too dependent on them if they see problems arising from it. I've sometimes wondered how/if fully sophont hedonistic vecs or virtuals might react to this sort of thing. To quote Dogbert, "When virtual reality is cheaper than dating, society is doomed."
