I gotta say, I’m a bit concerned how much my parents like these bots. It’s not yet that they become dependent on them, but the fact that these bots often validate your own biases isn’t helping.

My dad was surprised I didn’t embrace the new tech as much as we’re both generally tech enthusiastic. I mostly see a lot of problems with it and not the singularity he wanted to talk about.

My mom has issues with her family and the bot helps her validate her opinions in the fight… which I generally like, but I’m concerned who she lets to get to her: idiots in the family and a chatbot, rather than the rest of her caring environment.

So it’s not red alert, yet, but come on…
