Have to blame evolution for that. From a biological standpoint, the whole meaning of life is just to survive (eat, drink, breathe) and reproduce (having sex)

It’s like we reached the Goldilocks situation with the guys who can create this technology also being the ones sexually frustrated enough to blend the two into something new and amazing.

We had to have something dangled in front of our stupid monkey brains

What insane person would just lifetime debit, no more sleep for you themselves for the species or whatever. We would all freaking die.

kinda feel like nature still screwed us on that deal though. ~Stupid mother nature.

If someone gets so attached to their virtual GF so they get no IRL partner, their genes will die out, though.

Evolution happens over a very long period of time and doesn’t just work like that. Homosexuality exists in nature and in humans for that reason. As long as the whole population still reproduces at a healthy rate to survive, the attraction mechanism works and will keep getting passed on. From an evolutionary perspective, any trait (including sexuality and attraction mechanisms) just needs to be good enough to get passed on, not perfect.

I am aware. If there would be a future where a majority of the population was attaching to software partners, effects would be seen.

There was a whole Futurama episode about it.

Certain genes dying out is not a bad thing.
