Unless you can go full Amish over it and not touch it whatsoever, being able to distinguish it's not real is the BEST counter to it controlling your life.
Of course, but I don't think that's going to stop disenfranchised men from going down that path. At some point people will simply decide it doesn't matter if it is real or not (AI is easy to recognize) - better to fulfill your basic needs, which may not be achievable in real life. I don't worry about this for my own children, but I think this will become a real issue in the coming decades.
I meant this more as an existential threat. People are already going crazy with ChatGPT, imagine the societal checkout from "AI Girlfriend with lewd"
Unfortunately, same response applies.
