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?
No. And I don’t know anyone.
I hooope it’s not a huge issue? We all know the media treats 30 tweets about a topic as “the next new thing”. I totally understand the psychology behind (ab)using AI as a Friend substitute though - which makes this phenomenon feel very real and widespread.
