Although having the girl of my dreams would certainly be nice, I’d soon be pissed off at the lack of all the STUFF that I like and have accumulated. No more getting together with buddies and playing Super Smash Bros (or other video games) for hours? No Internet to surf and discuss politics and such on? No more Magic: the Gathering?
Personally, knowing that my verthandis were created specifically for me would make me want them less. Even if they were strong-willed, intelligent, and independent, I’d still -know- that their existence is tailored to suit my tastes, and this would prevent me from seeing them as real people. And I’d want real women.
I know this is way past its expiry date, but I have to ask:
Exactly how much dysfunction / argument / neglect / abuse would it take to make you happy? Your organic brain just isn’t that complex compared to an artillect like that Genie. It sounds like that would be baked in to your Verthandi. If she’s a modified em, then she’s functionally as “human” as any of us.
Or perhaps you’d need her to come after you with a carving knife to persuade you she’s genuinely hurt by your rejection?

Screw that!
If the A.I had any real brains, those things would be avaliable as well (at least between people of the same, and possibly even the opposite sex).
