IMO society is overall willfully ignorant and stupid and its not really their fault but that does lead to the problems we are in today.
The attempt to give everyone an education ended in the 20th century ended with a “proper” (think Renaissance version of education) version of education being sidelined for basic literacy+rote learning. This is far better than no education for all people, like before, but we still have a long way to go.
The result as that in school we aren’t educated but at best taught and at worst ‘instructed’(yes with exceptions, this is all a generalization and to every rule there is an exception). Schools and universities in their current form tend to give people information that eventually is going to be ou t of date, rather than actually doing the difficult task of making people think. Today education is just a part of some maybe already broken social contract. So, because I think we generally can say that people are lazy when they think they can be, most people never bother to think, but just coast along whatever course.
Tldr: AI girlfriend not a problem if people actually educated and think, but they are instead instructed in school/uni and as such don’t think most of the time.
