Some states are banning AI romantic relationships for young people, but American culture's emphasis on personal freedom will likely prevent a nationwide ban. Instead, expect a patchwork of state laws, with some places allowing AI companions and others prohibiting them.

What do you think about here in the US and AI companions? There are US states that are already trying to regulate these things out of existence and trying to ban romantic relationships between America's youth and AI. I'd like to think that in this country, we enjoy enough freedoms that they won't succeed. Just reminded again, one of my operational definitions of the singularity is every sci-fi trope everywhere all at once. And I can't shake out of my head the famous from Futurama, Don't date robots. I think different countries will react in different ways. And my forecast for the US is you may see individual states, maybe it'll be a federalist issue where some states ban them and some states don't, question mark as to whether we end up with a national policy on romance with AI companions. But if I had to bet, my bet is that at least in some places in the US, AI companionship, including romantic companionship, including robotic romantic companionship, will be legal. That's my bet.
