more than that, this adresses a really real issue with japanese men
overwork and meeting expectations of modern day society almost demand not having time for themselves
some adult office men work between 10 to 16 hours a day
and most of them are single, and have given up on even trying to find a partner
even then, they feel lonely
even the simple fact of "having someone" (even if its an AI) welcoming you home could save a lot of people just from going insane

so yeah, while it mostly can be seen as sad on this part of the planet, there can help a HUGE amount of people

I guess before a solution is made, one has to change the environment/culture first (and get people to work for much less).

I just want to say that a certain movie series called Blade Runner did it better.
