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, I would never be able to use AI as a substitute for anything other than a search engine, considering the decline in quality of current ones. I used to joke about it, but now I feel sorry for anyone so desperate for companionship that they would seek it in an AI chatbot.
