Why do tech companies keep using dystopian stories as manuals? The flirty tone, the voice being awfully similar to the lead actress of Her.

Next we are getting Ex Machina?

I don't recall Her being a dystopian movie

I suppose it depends on your own perspective. For my part, a world in which people "date" algorithms instead of other human beings certainly seems pretty dystopian.

>>blowsk+Oa
True. But in the story, the algorithms are better humans than the humans, so it wasn't actually a bad thing.

I could probably buy a realistic sex doll that looks better than the girls that would date me but I’d rather hump the real thing.

>>lotsow+PD
HEH... ok? I'm not sure that's relevant. The question is - does a human developing a relationship with a post-human sentience make the story automatically dystopian?

Seems to be you'd have to be pretty prejudiced against AI to say "yes".
