I know I sound like a broken record, but still…

I can’t help it, I’m going to keep sharing these.

Did you have a make believe friend when you were young? An invisible playmate to keep you company and act as confidant. I didn’t, but it seemed harmless enough.

Until now.

Welcome to the digital age when your fake friend might be a tad tricky.

An AI companion?

Count me out.

See?

Tricky.

Autoeroticism and stabbing as conversation stimuli may be more than most people are looking for in a digital friend.

Or not.

It’s a crazy world…

  1. The question is, is your “conversation” being recorded somewhere that you will have no control over? I’m betting the answer is yes — expect to meet yourself in a movie, book, or photo gallery near you soon.

  2. Why does Ameed in that picture look a lot like Dav Patel? Nothing good can come of having and IA friend. Real friends are hard enough to deal with let alone telling your AIBF to leave you alone because you don’t want to have that 8 shot of tequila. Then to get back at you they hack your bank account, I don’t freaking thing so. I didn’t have an imaginary friend as a kid either, I had a brother who bother the shit out of me instead.

  3. There’s a 2013 film called “Her” with Joaquin Phoenix as a man who develops a deep relationship with his AI assistant. In some ways it’s pretty prescient but maybe we should have realized it wasn’t nearly weird or dark as reality would get. Either way it made me want to stay away from AI then and I’m even more creeped out now.
