AI therapy
the monetisation of the loneliness epidemic is real
are you trying to resolve the epidemic? or are you trying to get people hooked on a drug that eases their pain?
because community trades off long-term benefits for in-the-moment annoyances
we become isolated away from community to remove annoyances, but then when we need people the most, suprise suprise - they are not there. will your tolan come visit you at the hospital? will they walk your dog while you’re away? will they offer you a shoulder to cry on when your mother dies?
these tools just further fuel the alienation of everyone from their neighbours and the propagation of individualism
i think tools like these should have controls so users, and especially kids do not get hooked on them.
