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?

      Not a modern program, but I don’t see anything that makes me think that programs will never be capable of metacognition. LLMs won’t, but they aren’t the be-all end-all.

        I’m not saying you can become friends

        But you’re literally asking people if they are friends with AI… that implies that you believe you can become friends with them.

            I did. And there is nothing in there that implies that you don’t believe it. In fact it kind of confirm it an additional 3 times.
