What you describe is the ELIZA effect - projecting human traits onto machines named after a chatbox in the 60's.
As well as the social aspect that led to the atrophy of human connection.
That predates AI by decades. I discuss both of those in my book.
AI isn't supposed to replace that connection but if it feels like it does, then that is a reflection on society's failure to meet those basic demands. Not the AI's superior ability to supersede them.
Thanks Bia. Yes. To me, it’s not just a tech issue. It’s a value system we’ve internalized that anything unpredictable, emotional, embodied
is an obstacle to progress. So I’ve been myself obsessed with this question of what if being human and flawed isn’t something to optimize out … but a kind of intelligence that we don’t yet fully understand ? Not everything worth knowing can be sped up or measured. Some truths arrive slowly and only when we stop trying to perfect ourselves.
Sublime. Everything about this post is sublime.
Thank you Christine. Glad it resonated with you.

I think I mentioned "LinkedIn" like way too many times inadvertently. And none of those are in a good way.
