This is why I feel that, going forward, one of the most important things we can teach the younger generations (and each other) is the importance of 'real', human relationships. As the author says, they're messy, but that's part of it, and they're far more rewarding than those with AI companions, or relationships with humans filtered through AI.
- barfbagginus 2y agoI hope next generations will be okay with being friends with AIs and human AI hybrids that use AI to do their speaking for them. If they don't, I'll moralize them like a judgemental Romanian grandpa, lol. Including an ever growing variety of communication and relation styles is the way forward, not a narrowly defined notion of "real" human relations. Especially not when the notion of real happens to coincide with an inefficient and out of date style of communication that only a privileged subset of the world could master, and which most people are no longer well-educated in. I think that a new form of AI hybrid literacy will evolve, and part of it will be reading AI generated text as if it's authentic. Because if it carries the facts and reflects the person's feelings, then it is authentic.
