Right, and that’s exactly the point. She is your best possible partner—including being sentient, being intelligent, etc. I honestly have trouble seeing what’s wrong with that.
It’s a bit questionable if the relationship is one way, but it could be designed to be a symmetric “best” for the companion too. Okay, more CPU cycles, but this reeks of hard take-off, which probably means new physics...
Also, a bit more technically but I hope worth adding—if the companion already exists in any possible world, the fact that you engineer a situation where you are able to perceive one another isn’t creating a pattern ex nihilo, it’s discovering one. Takes some of the wind out of the argument, although you still certainly have a point on privacy if the relationship is asymmetric.

The fact that she was designed just for me...that in itself would ruin it for me.
