This isn't the future of AI, it's just another example of a product gone wrong.
Or perhaps "right" for us. Because everything that strengthens the connection with AI erodes the potential for human connection. Every time you ask an AI a question, you are less likely to embark upon the journey of self-discovery. If you get help from an AI, you are less likely to get help from a fellow human being, and you are less likely to HELP another human being.
How is that different from using a search enigne? Actually, not much, except that AI provides a few more pieces of the puzzle of a substitute for human connection, and brings that to the next level. It is an order of magnitude better that passive reading, and thus an order of magitude better in separating people.
When something like this succeeds, it will be another failure for humanity.

It is a commodification by abstracting it into the mode of a computer, driven by global capitalism to transform ordinary human expression into the ultimate commodity to brace late capitalism up for one last breath of life. Or at least, I hope it is the last.
