That’s because the tech industry has a deep vested interest in this type of bullshit succeeding. So it’s always presented as the most awesome thing ever. Did you see the not-a-sex-robot presented at CES this year as if it was basically human rather than a freaky uncanny valley Realdoll? Even the guy who they had do the video was clearly having trouble keeping a straight face while he praised it.

The problem isn’t that they’re going to use it for themselves. The problem is they’re going to either try to make money with it or do some black hat shit that this will help facilitate.
(Also, saying to us that it’s obvious not to buy it doesn’t really matter considering the huge number of people out there with smartphones and no idea how any of it works.)
