Aside from birthrates... maybe not such a bad idea. Go out and learn how to talk to actual people and whatnot.

Thing is, having people grow accustomed to the idea of romantic ai bots has very negative implications.
AI on it's own is already problematic, every clanker is a yes clanker, the erosion of common knowledge and perception, the polution,....

That's how we get incels and rapists.
AI is no better.
