It's like cheat codes in games. That sounds fantastic, but people were very quickly get bored of it.

You would think so, wouldn't you? But how is it any different than fast food, porn, or trash tv?

you don't make your own fastfood, porn or trash tv. so it's like, completely different. being able to mold your partner doesn't assume a quick process and shallow results.

You don't make your own robot lover either. You do select it, same as you select your fast food order, porn video, and TV channel.

Imagine a Nexus Mods for AI personalities and bodyshapes.

I strongly disagree. Cheat codes provided infinite possibilities in an otherwise static game. The only reason don’t use cheat codes today is because they evolved into sandbox mode, console commands, and mods. And trust me, Skyrim would be long dead without those.
