I’m personally not and I never will be, but I keep seeing on the news that a lot of people are actually becoming friends with their AI bots, trying to use them as substitutes to replace real human interaction. Kinda scary, kinda absurd. What is your take on this? And are you friends with a bot?
I’ll admit I’ve used ChatGPT to get answers to absurdly specific use cases that I couldn’t find with a regular Internet search, but I’ve never “talked” to an AI not because they can’t “talk”, the LLM has no conscious way to understand the text it’s regurgitating. Nobody should be trying to become “friends” with an AI bot
