Your short-term fear is seeming to be validated over time as your listed "person-less" capabilities are constantly being implemented. I myself have lived brief bouts of the hikikomori lifestyle, although I still provide for myself as opposed to being taken care of by family as many are in the video you linked. But over the past few months, I've been prioritizing face-to-face conversations, especially with new people. This is the timeless, natural "neural net":
When we interact in this way, we isolate certain topics that are more relevant to our modern condition because both parties involved understand there is a time constraint. There is a sort of natural algorithmic process going on in both our minds because we are calculating the ideal things to say with this "new person". If we are speaking in proximity to other people, our conversation can take on a whole new shape because there is a "public" element and perhaps we are trying to dialogue for an audience that could eventually participate if they choose to. All of these mechanisms that keep people in check with each other are completely lost when out-sourced to programmed automation and looped control.
Perhaps it is not all bad though, because ordering through services like eBay/Amazon quickly and efficiently could ultimately save resources/emissions as we are having items routed to us that would historically take up space in a brick/mortar location. But the concern we are sharing here is that community is compromised when everyone has the option to anonymously do everything.
