One of the recent posts has someone with an engagement ring like they are getting married to an AI.. it’s sad, I feel like society as really isolated and failed many groups of people.

What if there was a bot that could just tell you exactly what you want to hear at all times?

Personally, I'd rather read a novel. But some people aren't familiar with books and have to be drawn in with the promise of two lines at a time, max.

I can fully understand? The average human, from my perspective and lived experience, is garbage to his contemporaries; and one is never safe from being hurt, neither from family or friends. Some people have been hurt more than others - i can fully understand the need for exchange with someone/something that genuinely doesn't want to hurt you and that is (at least seemingly) more sapient than a pet.

I wish i could make myself believe in illusions like that, but i am too much of a realist to be able to fool myself into believing. There's no escape for me - neither religion nor AI in its current state can help. well, maybe i live to see AGI, then i'm off into the cybercoffin lol

I know some and they view everyone as being unfair to them and their problems are way worse than others who don't take it seriously. It honestly hard to explain if you not like it but I know their problems and they are problems but many people have ,while not the same, similar problems. They basically want a yes man and don't like actual conversation with any critical thought behind it. It honestly annoys me because they are almost the worst to people like themselves because they view other peoples problems as not as bad and theres as especially bad.
