MIT professor warns in new book: What we become when we talk to machines

[Redaktion]

MIT professor and sociologist/psychologist warns in her new book that chatbots are causing our ability to form bonds and maintain relationships with other people to atrophy, just as our ability to perform work or acquire knowledge independently is declining. Instead, she argues, we should learn to accept "friction" in life as something positive.

Sorry to say but seeing how easy my friends judge me for my rather unconventional way of thinking (the only friend who did took his own life), sometimes I just don't bother contacting them.  AI knows what I want to know in a flash without hesitation, or calling me an idiot (or at least insinuating it) for asking for simple advice.
