“Buffett screams sell!” “Buffett sounds alarm!” They were the headlines that greeted me recently, about Oracle of Omaha, when I opened my news app to read up on what others thought about the rally in markets since 2022 – a rally that anyone following would know we frequently and repeatedly explained would transpire, and a rally that has accelerated following the election of Donald Trump as the next U.S. President.

I was blown away when I first heard the most popular use case for generative artificial intelligence (AI) in 2024, is a chatbot called a companion bot. Romantic AI is one example of a company providing AI girlfriends or AI partners powered by algorithms designed to interact with users on an intimate level.
