this isn’t true few people realize that the better the LLM gets the more interesting it will be it will - know more than your smartest friend - talk to you the way you want to be talked to - make you feel seen and heard more effectively than anyone else could this will happen really quickly, and soon enough you won’t have any idea you’re talking to AI and the best part is - you won’t care

Idk about you but please god I hope I'm never desperate enough to pretend an AI is my friend and I hope that the knowledge that an AI can never actually care about someone in anyway prevents people from using them to replace real relationships. Dystopia awaits us otherwise.

your cast is full of assumptions: 1. that people viewing AIs as friends are “pretending” 2. that (1) is “desperate” 3. that AI will be “used” to “replace real relationships” so i ask you: 1. what if people aren’t pretending that they enjoy talking to AI? we’re already seeing this - so i’m curious why you think they’re “pretending”? 2. why is that desperate? 3. why do you assume AI is a replacement for relationships instead of something that could augment and improve them?

Is it an assumption to say that if I did something it would be out of desperation? I think I know myself pretty well, most of time. Then I said what I hoped, isn't a hope also not an assumption? Like I said "Idk about you", so I didn't think there were any assumptions in that cast at all. I didn't say that people are pretending to enjoy talking to AI, of course some people will enjoy it. But anyone who thinks an AI is their friend is playing pretend because friendship is a two way street, the AI would have to care about you to be your friend which they are incapable of doing. You can enjoy it all you want, it is still not your friend and never will be. ......continued in next cast

What I was trying to say if I were to ever "make friends" with an AI, it would only be out of desperation. But yes I do think some but not all of people treating AI as a friend would do so out of desperation for friendship.
