Katsutoshi Nishimoto makes a great prediction for the year 2023!
Five Fortunes of NISHIMOTO IS THE MOUTH.

Next year I will be in a lot of media..." At the end of 2021, he blurted out such words, and in 2022, he appeared in a variety of media. What kind of year will 2023 bring?

TOPIC 04_Love

The forbidden story depicted in the film becomes a reality.

. Now, please give me a prediction on the fourth topic, "love".

Nishimoto:You can have the death penalty for adultery. It's called the death penalty for adultery, not cheating.

That's quite an unconventional system, isn't it?

Nishimoto:. It makes no sense to betray a contract that was once made, doesn't it? In the world of The Godfather, such an act is not allowed. If you break it, you will be erased. Someone once said, "Adultery is a cultural thing," but those days are gone. If you are going to have an affair, you should break up properly and do it in a fair manner. This is the standard.

Nishimoto-san, were you really that hard-core?

Nishimoto:Have you ever thought about who would be grieved by having an affair? One mistake, one momentary lapse in judgment, and you can hurt someone you care about greatly. Everyone should take love more seriously.

Where did the affair begin?

Nishimoto:If you kiss, it is adultery. Holding hands is just barely safe.

Yes, sir.

Nishimoto:Also, a marriage system with AI will be created.

That's a little more realistic.

Nishimoto:They make dolls that really look like humans, and instead of a brain, they implant an AI chip in them. There is a movie called "Lars and His Girlfriend," in which the main character falls in love with a Dutch wife. I think we will see more and more pseudo-love like that.

The worldview that was depicted in the film is now becoming a reality.

Nishimoto:Yes, yes. Even though we know it is an AI, I think it will develop feelings. Just as Krillin and Synthetic 18 got married, this will happen in real life.

I feel a little sad about it, though.

Nishimoto:Don't you think this is a reflection of today's world? People are meeting online and falling in love online . In the real world, it is difficult to talk to women.

. and as a result, we are dependent on AI. . It's horrifying.

Nishimoto:Osamu Tezuka also drew it in his manga. SKATE THING, whom I respect, also said that AI will surpass human beings by creating AI in 2060 or so. I am interested in such a world.

How accurate is your prediction?

Nishimoto:. marriage with AI is 20% at this stage. But in 30 years, I think we will be as close to 1001 TP10T as possible.

What about the death penalty for adultery?

Nishimoto:0%. It would be too hard to get the death penalty for adultery.
