Joi the perfect waifu

Am I right? Well, the perfect hologram that could probably be memory implanted into a replicant for real feels. Too bad she died. I blame K/Joe for not protecting her properly even knowing full well she was beside him. I would've placed her somewhere safe while I went on a shooting spree and killing people. Like being so reckless with your own partner/wife/companion that does almost everything for you and is quite smart to boot.

good waifu but not perfect, he needed a prostitute to have sex with her, that made me sad.

I actually loved that idea, something that Spike Jone's "her" explored too. This is another element of what it is to be human, to touch to feel, fits philosophically into the blade runner ethos.

Not at all ... especially since the same company makes Joi "waifu" and replicants

Why wouldn't they offer replicant upgrades?

I also got a "her" vibe - seemed like Joi could not only adapt but evolve according to the user's needs

If they could make replicants, why not a pocket-sized AI?
