On a related note, I personally hate the AI partner/friend ones as well, where it's clearly preying on the lonely, insecure, or desperate. It's dastardly, dystopian, and frankly, quite sad. How many children's media show rich children as being quite miserable sods whose parents think that not having friendship can be resolved by buying their kids a friend?

You could easily see that being in a cyberpunk story, where you can rent a friend or partner from a megacorporation, but if you don't pay the rent, they'll be repossessed and deleted/destroyed. The data would be collected and used regardless.

That's a pretty cool idea for a story, actually. I'd totally steal that if I wasn't so lazy
