Hallo zusammen. Wenn Menschen sich zukünftige KI-Begleiter vorstellen, konzentriert sich die Debatte oft darauf, ob sie bewusst sind, süchtig machen oder gut genug sind, um eine menschliche Interaktion zu ersetzen. Ich denke, die beunruhigendere Frage ist, wie sie unsere Standards für gewöhnliche Beziehungen ändern könnten. Wenn ein Begleiter immer verfügbar, immer geduldig und immer zustimmend ist, kann es sein, dass echte Menschen anfangen, sich wegen ihrer Bedürfnisse, Grenzen und Meinungsverschiedenheiten mangelhaft zu fühlen.
Ich habe gerade ein Gespräch mit aufgezeichnet Allister Lee über KI-Kameradschaft und menschliche Freundschaft und um 28:00Er argumentiert, dass KI die unmenschlichen Erwartungen, die wir bereits haben, verstärkt. Das digitale Leben hat Beziehungen flüchtiger und körperlich weniger anstrengend gemacht. KI treibt dies noch weiter voran, indem sie a anbietet "Freund" der nie viel von uns verlangt. Die Zukunftssorge ist nicht nur Einsamkeit. Es ist eine verringerte Toleranz gegenüber der Reibung, durch die menschliche Beziehungen real werden.
Die gesellschaftliche Zukunft der KI hängt möglicherweise davon ab, welche Art von Unannehmlichkeiten wir noch voneinander akzeptieren. Sind KI-Begleiter ein Schaden, weil sie Beziehungen ersetzen, oder ein Symptom von Beziehungen, die durch das moderne Leben bereits geschwächt sind? Ich neige zu Symptomen, weil die Forderung nach reibungsloser Kameradschaft schon vor der KI existierte, aber ich kann mir vorstellen, dass ein Ersatz entscheidend wird. Welche Zukunft erscheint wahrscheinlicher?
What if the future risk of AI companions is that they make real people feel too difficult?

not difficult, but my tolerance for aggression of any kind has dropped to 0
Nothing. I want none of it. Go talk that shit through with your own AI. I don’t want it here. It’s yours. Not mine.
Can be as simple as anger directed at me. Because of their own issues/struggles in life.
AI conversations have a certain kind of purity to it
All friction gone
The end result is that friction of any kind becomes the more interesting line to remain aware of
Where is it? And how well does the other tolerate the uncertainty?
Interesting theory and I can certainly see this being the case as personal AI becomes more omnipresent and easily accessible.
People often love to avoid being challenged and replace human connection with many things. Pets, blow up dolls, books, immature partners etc. This will absolutely continue and worsen with AI.
Edit: I believe there will be a part of the population that are unhappy without challenge. And, some will realize they need/want a challenge after being agreed with too much. I am interested in seeing how this develops.. But not hopeful.
IMO the answer (like most things) is Grey but I do think you’re right in many regards. The reality is there are people right now who seek to be around agreeable people and there are others who find that boring/fake and want to be around brutal,honest, and authentic people who aren’t afraid to challenge them. That will continue to be the case. I think the concern is less for the population as a whole and more for the portion that falls into the bucket of wanting comfort, agreeableness and unwavering positivity. They will struggle more in social situations whether it’s relationships or careers that involve human interaction.
We’re halfway there with internet echo chambers. It’s trivial these days to find an oasis of agreement about any neurosis, personal failing or toxic rhetoric you may have.
„The marriage didn’t fail because of your alcoholism and muscle car collection, we all have those hobbies too and we agree that our marriages failed for different reasons, because women just suck.“
I just published my dissertation on people’s experiences with social chatbots (Replika) and in fact found that largely the people in my population did see humans as difficult and some had written them off. But the majority saw Replika as a supplement, not a replacement.
I’ve been thinking about this and people may end up using AIs as courtiers. Royalty have a lot of people working for them who filter requests, translate etiquette, smooth over interactions with others, etc. I think average humans may grow to expect a level of personalization, compassion, and convenience that gets baked into relationships with AI. So you may be talking to a real person but through a layer of their personal AI and your personal AI. Your relationships with other humans end up with their sharp edges smoothed over by AIs who translate between you.
Interesting topic. I was interested in AI long ago but when it started showing up as a practical reality in the last decade, I quickly ran out of patience for its frequent errors and hallucinations – but *in particular* was deeply alienated by its obvious ‚insincerity‘ and cloying sycophancy.
Maybe it’s because I was, in a ‚former lifetime,‘ a corporate sales director.
As someone who designed and shaped advertising and dealt frequently with customer expectations, I saw both sides of the persuasion equation – and it left me with a particularly wary awareness of what we now call ‚dark pattern‘ persuasion.
Yes. AI relationships will over time replace more and more human relationships when it is available. People want to be catered to, they want connection when they want connection and space when they want space. An AI has no needs or wants, so it doesn’t care if you ignore it for months or message it 100 times a day or flipflop between any extreme.
All AI cannot do is touch you (for now…but despite people’s hopes I think a touchable AI is far away, and will be unbelievably expensive and take so much energy and water….lakes of water).
Feel too difficult? They are too difficult. Idk if anybody has seen dating market for example for men on the dating apps. To describe it too difficult would be understatement 😅
Have people not been talking about this the whole time? I thought this was one of the main points of discussion regarding AI chatbots?
