    I’ve already been told by a friend that he spent the whole late evening after work just chilling with chatgpt, paraphrasing, because he was so lonely. Mostly because I was away at work and I couldn’t reply

    I mean, there must be people out there that would prefer talking to a robot than to a human. The perfect companion, doesn’t judge you, you can’t be awkward with, you won’t have cringe moments because it’s just a robot.

    The future is just way more grim than we expect
