AI girlfriends solve the 'angry single men' (AKA drone AKA incel) issue even better than pornography - and I've seen a lot of public health types touting the benefits of pornography.

Any source you recommend? Never heard anyone touting it...

You'll want to look for critiques of critiques of pornography, e.g. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1097184X211018...

Do they solve it or do they exacerbate it? Would those men be less angry or better adjusted if they had more authentic contact with human society?

The hypothesis is that more authentic contact with human society is off the table. 'Government mandated girlfriends' is a joke for a reason.
