Friends don’t (usually?) earn money by collecting data on you and trying to influence you. Of these were completely (and actually) not for profit companies simply providing advice based on whatever knowledge base they have without other additional interests, it could make sense (1). But we know this is not the case. (1) A huge caveat is that limiting yourself to AI-only “friends” is still problematic, at least because your social interactions are basically AI prompts and not interactions with actual people who don’t pretend they know everything. There are of course other caveats.
