Mark Zuckerberg Thinks the Cure to Male Loneliness Is Befriending AI ChatBots
"Nothing beats kicking back with some good friends at the end of a tiresome work day, cracking open a brewski, and…drinking it alone in front of your computer, since those good friends are actually just artificial intelligence chatbots. That’s Mark Zuckerberg’s optimistic vision on the future of companionship: AI friends.
“The average American has fewer than three people they would consider friends, and the average person has demand for meaningfully more. I think it’s something like 15 friends or something,” Zuck explained during a recent appearance on Dwarkesh Patel’s podcast (released the same day Meta released their new AI app). He envisions that, in the next five or so years, Meta users will progress from simply watching videos on their feeds to actually interacting with content through AI chatbots—which, I guess, will ideally fill that 12-friend gap folks are experiencing."
