This made me think of Blade Runner 2049, **SPOILER** and how sad it was that Officer K’s companion Joi (definitely not creepy, but perhaps pervy?) was also compromised. Joi, invented by the Wallace Corporation (just like Officer K, incidentally) was designed to provide support and companionship, a version of love. It’s amazing that artificial beings like Edgarbot and Joi can create such empathy in humans. It is a weakness and a strength.
