The focus is on the consent of the fictional character which rings all the same alarm bells for me that are associated with the demand for consent from an illustration-- it's concerning that this is the angle instead of, say, using AI to remove a real person's clothing. Thin edge of the wedge.
"And I never say no"
We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.
We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

I’m nervous that a politician calling for regulation because “what if the AI doesn’t consent” could end badly, in the same way that SB 20 remains a dangerous time bomb for Texas. Is there a major difference between saying this about AI and saying this about an immersive noncon video game?

Texas law restricting kids from app stores blocked
Senate Bill 2420, which would have gone into effect on Jan. 1, likely violates the First Amendment, according to the ruling.
