I think this is a very bad thing and a sign post for a very wrong path.

Just my deflated 2cents worth.

I agree with you 100%.

I don’t follow the main stream media so I am not sure how much coverage this story has received.

At the very least, it’s a story of a business person saying that the product they are selling is good and not harmful. Like what used to be said about cigarettes.

I would hope that society would reach some kind of tipping point and say no to the machine brain.

Human civilization can survive without AI, but AI cannot survive without human civilization.


Here is a quote from that Wall Street Journal article a little further in:

“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.”

Interesting times we live in.

You are supposed to get rid of your future nasty boss/over lord while you still have the chance and ya gotta do it with a smile.
Doing that now is always easier than waiting for them to get stronger and meaner.
Ummm, I mean that’s what I heard .

To me, AI is something like the genie in the bottle, or toothpaste when it's out of the tube...once it's out there, there is no going back, and if you don't develop it quickly, someone else surely will. You can't stop progress, because the world marches on, with or without you. It's just the way it is.
