In diesem Artikel wird untersucht, wie junge Menschen in der Schweiz beginnen, KI-Chatbots nicht nur für die Schule oder die Arbeit, sondern auch als Begleiter und Ratgeber zu nutzen.
Manche beschreiben sie sogar als „sehr intelligente Freunde“.
Es wirft eine größere Frage auf:
Gehen wir auf eine Welt zu, in der KI einen Teil unseres sozialen Lebens ersetzt?

I still don’t get how it is a friend. But I see how it can arrives there for many people.
It’s a freak*ng very useful tool tho, also for studying as that young guy
I don’t remember what it was like when Google used to return meaningful results.
I don’t think its worse than the parasocial relationship people have with „influencers“ maybe enven better but both are ridiculously stupid to me.
I highly suggest watching this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FuaPalNmjg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FuaPalNmjg)
Kids with still developing brains get bombarded and stimulated by social media notifications, doomscrolling, peer pressure, online bullying, brainrot.. Online chats made them less prone socialize, less able to develop social skills, paradoxically, and more anxious. They are over-protected in „real life“ and under-protected online.
All of this isn’t doomsday talk… it’s proven (You can find sources in the video). Now, if this is the effect of social media on developing brains, and is still technically human to human connection… imagine a little kid chatting to AI as if it was a friend. Imagine a little kid having chat-gpt installed in the toys.. now that’s literally his best friend, and good luck taking it away. How is that kid going to develop?
There are people who use AI to respond to comments.. can’t even string two words together anymore, and they are adults…
Maybe I’m wrong, maybe it will be a boon to social development for new generations… but we thought the same about technology and social media, people said „people born in this era will be much more sociable and have better social skills and they’ll be tech-savvy“ and it was clearly not what happened. So it’s very unlikely to be good for people imo
chatbots are super useful though especially for information aggregation. last week i made a small project. filling claude ai with a huge amount of sources, official, youtubevideos, whole reddit thread, about the iran war, how to deal with sources and economics. to aggregate all teh findings in one huge document i then stresstested by reading it myself first then feeding it to chatgpt and grok and comming back and adjust it again based on the feedback and then steelmanning it myself again until finally finishing the analysis of the impact of the iranian war on the economics of japan.
i basically did the work that would need a while team weeks in about 20 hours. and so far predictions came more or less true, thought timeline is even faster than anticipated
all in all i can not imagine a world without ai anymore either, its insane
that being said its weird using it as a friend
