I definitely don't agree with the GP but I don't agree with you either. Human could and absolutely become attached to non humans, ranging from dog to pen to house. And I believe humans might begin to develop deeper relationship with AI bots very soon.
- waboremo 4y agoI don't know. Part of why we anthropomorphize so much is because we can still feel the physical elements. We pet a dog, we live inside our homes, list goes on. When that is not possible, how does this change people and their valuation of online communication? Would you still love "Anne" when she's now rejected your 50th attempt to meet in person? Would you still reply to comments like mine if the default assumption wasn't "that's another human being I can persuade" and instead "that is a bot"? I'm sure in the long term that differentiation alone would change, you know androids and all that jazz - however in the meantime, we're going to be facing a tremendous shift in how we interact online.
