I wonder how much of this is actually commentary on how easy it is to chat with AI whenever you want, how much of it is commentary on how hard it can be to both be sociable and to also succeed socially and make friends, and what it might mean that an AI is more attractive and easier to “befriend” or “be in a relationship with” than an actual person, both in regards to the qualities of the AI and those of the people it outperforms.
>on how hard it can be to both be sociable
I won't say it's hard, I will say it requires attention.
The problem is we live in a capitalistic society that believes capturing your attention in order to sell it is the number one priority of any business.
This really isn't human versus AI, it's humans versus FAANG/social media/ads/TV.
