It is an approximation of intelligence. Literally a universal approximator trained on "intelligent" data. I can think of many applications where such a tool would be a brilliant fit but I swear tech companies are hell bent on cramming it into every single niche that it doesn't belong.

Seconding this. It's not incredibly common but it's not incredibly uncommon. Research shows that most people who have it don't notice it until it's pointed out. Drugs and stress tend to exacerbate the effect as well.

I for one look forward to Planet X becoming Planet IX.

Something basic like the Mass Effect series helps sell the idea that you really did form a fully fledged relationship over the course of the game. As for Cyberpunk, the setting is literally designed to be dripping with sexuality. It's not necessary for the story itself, but if you removed all the sex ads the setting simply wouldn't reach the same level of "megacorporations maximizing psychological exploitation techniques".

My favorite old cookbook is a wine cook book. The author is an obvious and unrepentant alcoholic that perfectly demonstrates the time period it was written in. One of the recipes was literally "melt a bunch of cheese and stir in wine while it cools, then pour the wine cheese into a loaf pan to solidify", encouraging you to have a glass while you do so.

The simulation is intentionally choosing the most convoluted and incomprehensible content possible in order to try and stop us.
