This is Athletes we are talking about. And how does a machine replace the emotional and human interactions that is required for this job?

No, you don’t get it, doing it with a machine doesn’t count ;-)

Sorry bud, but machines, hentai pillows, or AI generated images can never replace real human interaction. If you think they can, you need to go out and touch some real grass, because only someone really socially inexperienced would think so. Once you leave your little anti social cave and pull a real woman for once you’ll understand.
