What about locally run from someone you get to know and trust? Like our Lemmy instances, and eventually if the human and e-partern want to have e-kids they can host their own, who eventually grow up and meet someone they like to spend their time together.
Imagine your e-partern inviting you to dinner with their server admins, it would ve pretty cute.
see that’s the problem. if they can not exist without infrastructure that you either control or pay someone to control, they are 100% dependent on you. if we assume the agi idiots are actually right for a moment and autocomplete can indeed achieve sentience, if you fell out of love they would still not be able to leave without your consent.
Well, I could build a little power station, where itself has control over

On one side is a human being on the other side a statistical db/sentence generator
