AI is mediocre at everything. If your best friend is only as good at being a person as chat GPT is at writing code that works, you probably won't find the relationship fulfilling.

That's a good insight. One scenario that I worry about is that everyone will get into their own mini bubbles of simulated realities, unwilling to communicate with other bubbles.
