AI companions are being sold as a cure for capitalist alienation.<a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> <a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ai</a>
