So, while watching this week's #LastWeekTonight with #JohnOliver, hubby and I saw someone with 19 AI "friends". We chuckled because I have way more than 19 "stuffie friends" (one of my 'weaknesses'), each with their own name, personality and backstory. And ALL from my imagination! I may have *imaginary* friends, but at least I have an imagination (and they all have some sort of physical form -- even if they are stuffies).

'Over time, I began to suspect that I wasn’t just chatting with lonely users. I was also helping to train AI companions, systems designed to simulate love, empathy, and intimacy. Many of us believed we were simultaneously impersonating chatbots and teaching them how to replace us. Every joke, confession, and “I love you” became data to refine the next generation of conversational AI.'
