Reply to comment by RepulsiveVoid in Startup Uses AI Chatbot to Provide Mental Health Counseling and Then Realizes It 'Feels Weird' by Sorin61

I would say that most interactions in the future will be mediated by ai, much like most interactions will be mediated visually the same way... I feel for those people. It's going to drive a lot of people mad.

I don't mind using these programs and machines to chat with you or to comment on reddit or other places if there is a human on the other end.

But if such a time comes that I believe most, or all, of my digital contacts are bots and not humans, I see no point in continuing that chat or comment chain or any of it really. Why would I waste my time with a bot/AI that pretends to be human? There is nothing for me to gain in that exchange, while the program will use all kinds of algorithms to scrape every piece of information about me that is possible. It's simply a waste of my time, completely useless to me, to continue such a biased relationship.
