A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't think so. People still have a need for interaction with a real human and infinite generated content just feels hollow. Sure, it'll satisfy some people and maybe that's a good thing but I don't think it's going to replace or even barely supplement real social interaction
I think it will happen. Multiplayer video games already match people with bots that are presented as if they were human players, and 99.9% of players don't care. As long as a game makes you feel like you're playing against other humans, most people consider that good enough. Similarly, as long as a bot on Instagram or Twitter feels human enough to be enjoyable to interact with, users won't care that they aren't actually human.
It depends much on the game, environment, people involved.
Npc ai has come a far way and the thrill of playing live with people is a real competition. And its only just started to get good enough to intimidate social/emotional behavior.
massive realistic single player historic events, like battlefields - yay
the social aspect of social media and online comments - nah
front and helpdesk assistants, maybe even a certified therapist ai - yea
friends/family - cant
I'm with you except for the therapist one. Ain't no way the AI we have currently or anything even close to what we have now could be a therapist. The human connection is the #1 most important thing in therapy and being a therapist takes way too much contextual understanding.
Ai we have now, not so much. But in a few generations?
I have experience with quite a few therapists/psychologist/doctors/psychiatrists and the most common issue i find is that many of them are old and all of them carry human biases. Ai is biased like us but i think there is more room to create more objective reasoning.
