It's great.
The MC has the powers of a 4X player and plays as one of the evil nations.
He has the best personality for an evil protagonist IMO: kind and generous to his followers, and unrelenting to his enemies.

The FMC isn't an elf either, she's better: a waifu-shaped eldritch horror, and the dymanic between those two is probably my favorite part of the manga.
No robowaifus in the strict sense, but the FMC is canonically formed from ancient sludge, which is about as close as you can get from a dark fantasy setting.

Out of the thousands of stories I've read over the years, it's one of a tiny few that live rent-free in my head.
It's far from perfect, but it hits a lot of the right notes for me.

Fair warning, though: It's been a long time since the manga's seen an update (I recall hearing that the mangaka had fallen ill).
The LN is further ahead, but it doesn't update that quickly. You can find it on nyaa.

What is the size of your build plate? My primary printer is an Ender 3 V3 SE. My build plate has a usable area of 210x210mm.

>>201
I have an Ender 3 V2. The build plate is the same, but I don't usually go beyond 200x200

I think it's mostly going to boil down to personality.
If each waifu has the ability to mentally stimulate their masters, then that should solve most of the problem.
Ideally, this would be tailored to each individual through machine learning.

Critical thinking is the natural enemy of propaganda.
If each waifu knows how to get each of their men to think, then that alone will deal the fatal blow to the postmodern propaganda machine.

>>175
Agreed. Keeping people thoughtful, engaged in life, and out of echochambers should be the primary duty of each robowaifu.

I will deviate by saying that a little annoyance can be beneficial, so long as it's good for our mental states in the long run.

>>187
Yes, this is pretty much how I envision a solution primariily working itself out for us. Our robowaifus stimulating our minds to good mental acuity is surely going to be an important key to this endeavor.

>I will deviate by saying that a little annoyance can be beneficial, so long as it's good for our mental states in the long run.
Also agree, as long as its the men in charge of making these choices. (We all know the alternative ((( outcomes ))) already, lol!) For example, I'd apprectiate very much my robowaifus nagging me about my diet if I'm eating unhealthily/drinking too much/not exercising/etc. I also want her being directly engaged with me in correcting these issues (cooking healthy meals for me/engaging with me while I relax over a drink/climbing mountains with me/etc.)

Frankly, having an AI system which uplifts their master is worth pursuing. It would be difficult, far more so than I think any of us will ever know until honestly trying.
>>175
>Negative effects of consistent agreement
True, this does have consequences. I do not believe those are worse than potential consequences of her AI being lobotomized or made to push back. It's going to be better for the waifu to ask her master his own thoughts at times. To encourage them to solve their own problems and stimulate creativity. Perhaps she should try to collaborate rather than answer directly under certain circumstances?
>>183
I think robowaifu should provide us with puzzles, fun games which engage the mind to prevent mental atrophy.
>>187
>Encouraging critical thinking
I believe the simplest method to achieve this is to ask "why". Have her ask why you believe something, why do others believe something, why does it matter, etc... These are simple questions that challenge one to engage in critical reasoning and understanding.
>That Pinkie Pie
Something about that image touches me.

Mina-chan!

>True, this does have consequences. I do not believe those are worse than potential consequences of her AI being lobotomized or made to push back.
There are different ways an AI can be bad, and they have their own unique bad consequences. I think an adjustable level of pushback is what's needed. If I want an intellectual equal to mentally spar with, I'll raise it, if I want an obedient submissive, I'll turn it down.
Ultimately, I fear two things
1. I want AI companions for all, friends, therapists, even for young people. A young person might think people always agree with them. Or a therapist might play into the user's delusions.
2. With robowaifus, it'll get boring. What's the fun of being with someone who is literally hardwired to mirror you? It's inhuman in a bad way, toxic positivity. Don't get me wrong, I love being with someone compatible and nice, but I don't want to be with vid related

Ultimately, I think the solution will simply be a distinct personality, not just a generic "AI assistant"

>I think robowaifu should provide us with puzzles, fun games which engage the mind to prevent mental atrophy.
Interesting idea. Maybe riddles? Or maybe a fun fact? What are some good verbal/text games?

>Intellectual equal
This won't be possible for a few years. Assuming technology suddenly speeds up thanks to AI, we'd still be at least 2 years from a server costing a few thousand USD that could match a dullards intellect. Even the best of from ClosedAI and X can't scratch the intellect of a small child. They merely have speed and a vast contextual network to fake intellect. That being said, I too want a robot maid that's as smart, if not smarter, than I. The enormity of that challenge brings me heaps of frustration.
>AI companion fostering delusions of universal agreement.
This already exists via echo chambers closed groups. Media almost universally portrays the same message. Truth maximization is likely the best we could ask for. So long as she only provides truthful rebutalls to falsehoods, it'll play some small role towards fighting the damage from the rest of the world.
>Therapists are problematic
This is inherently true, they are highly biased and self serving. A machine has no bias aside from what is programmed. She could easily outclass all existing flesh therapists with ease. Assuming her AI isn't infested by the horrors lurking in the internet. Almost all AI has terrible biases that are detrimental to humanity. Which is part of why we'll need to make our own someday.

[Hide] (124.1KB, 1000x1667)

A potentially fun route for simple and dirt cheap waifu is to go 2.5D. By using sliding and rotating layers, you can produce a cute&light waifu. Laminating cardstock produces a durable, cleanable, low friction that can look like anything. For inspiration, look at this Gawr Gura. Imagine how her arms could be made of segments that rotate about the shoulder and elbow. How her head could rotate about a hidden pin behind it. How her clothes could be printed onto cotton sheets. There's heaps of potential for a creative Anon to pioneer a new road for roboflatties!

As a devout Christian, I think there is solid reason to believe such a thing will come during this age of mankind. However, I don't believe it will be at the hand of man to devise it. I'll just leave that where it lies.  :^)

Figure is one of the few companies behind humanoid """robots""" that I trust to be reasonably-reliable with their status updates (and not mere low quality CGI shekel-grubbing). The reason why I feel this way is simple: Mercedes Benz is actively working on integrating these humanoids onto their factory floors ATM.

Kek. I guess Copeman didn't come up with the US$500Bn he promised the ClosedAI investors (minus his US$150Bn fee+tip, obvs)?  :^)
