Imagine you've had an awful day. You’re tired, and you just want someone to lend an ear without judging. You pick up your phone, and someone answers. It knows you pretty well by now, and it’s always there for you. But there’s a catch: it’s not a human; it’s your AI bestie.
Some people say these digital friends are a lifeline for the lonely ones and a safe space to hone your social skills. But others argue that these relationships are 'hollow' or fake, and might actually make us feel more isolated from the real world while making us highly dependant on this technology.
What's your take on this?
