Zuckerberg’s Grand Vision: Most of Your Friends Will Be AI

“The very platforms that have led to our social isolation and being chronically online are now posing a solution to the loneliness epidemic,” said Meghana Dhar, a former Instagram executive who thinks AI friends will only make such problems worse. “It almost seems like the arsonist coming back and being the fireman.” Meta has allowed chatbots on its apps to offer a full range of social interaction, including “romantic role-play,” even with children, The Wall Street Journal reported. Stephen Schueller, a professor of psychological science at the University of California, Irvine, said AI chatbots cannot fully replace friends or therapists but there are circumstances where the bots might be helpful. “Most people don’t have access to a therapist,” he said. “So for them, it’s not chatbot versus therapist. It’s chatbot versus nothing.”

No. We do not accept any lesser goal than fully funded, comprehensive health care. Meta can pay 93% tax rate and zuck can pay his 91%. You know, like back in the 1950s when America was great or something. And so can the "FU I got mine! liberal voters.
