My recent experience with AI

[JeffKeryk]

I know it sounds funny to us, but younger people are using AI chatbots as friends now. I personally work with a person that admits to chatting with chatgpt on regular basis, like it was a friend. She asks it for advice and other human nature stuff. It's quite scary how much influence these things will eventually have.

I understand a lot of "gamers" have few friends (and hobbies) beyond their Internet connections. The Internet has its plusses and minuses...

On Reddit people are complaining that their spouse is "cheating" with AI. They claim they are having full discussions/relationships as if it was another person.

That's not a suggestive image.

I know...but it was more fun to mess with it as if it was. I mean it would've even create the image because being blonde was too suggestive.
