What would the id headset be? Endless porn/satisfaction tiktok?

Maybe: AI would determine which fantasy traps your attention the best (whether game, drama, porn) and then play that in front of your eyes at all times using Character-AI-like persons and a plotline written by AI according to the media you have consumed and enjoyed previously. AI would realistically predict which aural and visual cues have been associated with the most pleasure in your life and then place that into its stimuli, effectively rewriting your memories in the process. We can easily imagine a corporation supplying the idset in exchange for something resembling slave labor.

The prominence of CharacterAI hasn’t been explored enough. Kids are already addicted to chatting with a fake AI persona, something like 20% of google queries are made by CharacterAI already. That’s just text. It won’t be long until it is a visuospatial and aural VR experience.
