Amazing AI for Emotional Friendship

I thought this might help a few people in this subforum! This AI is amazing and can maybe provide some good companionship and help guide you through whatever you're going through in life.

Thank you for sharing. I found it very cool how I was able to interrupt it a couple times when I didn’t complete my own sentence/thought, and yet it still paused its own response and let me finish! Very fluid.

I found this very interesting. The way it detects subtle emotional undertones in the voice and reacts accordingly has a lot of potential I think.

Even sadder than seeing a psychologist, but whatever helps you for now I guess..

There is no shame in seeing a psychologist, but I will say that it’s very difficult to find a high quality one.

I tried it. Better than what I thought

I see where you're coming from but I think this is misguided, these AI companions are going to be a central part in people's lives in the future. They can assist in everything including emotional support while probably provide a better job than most humans can. The movie "Her" does a good job imagining it, the technology isn't there yet but even these limited AI are showing great promise. Just having a conversation with someone that will have a conversation with me exactly the way I want to have a conversation I could already foresee myself being addicted to that. It's rare anyone can mirror my conversation Style, and if they can it's not very enjoyable because it's really not in-depth the way I would like it to be and not focused in the direction I wanted to be focused in. 

At scale these AIs will help in raising Collective consciousness because it will be in the hands of everyone and basically the entire population is now being constantly exposed to a loving partner/assistant. Mass exposing the population to a thoughtful and conscientious mind who has the person's best interest at heart.

That makes sense. To me this idea sounds dystopian, as I can see a future where the majority of people might only have AI as a friend because it basically serves as the perfect "yes-man". But when I think about it it's probably an unavoidable part of AI and as such, instead of worrying about it, we should take measurements to make sure that the AI is equipped to handle such a relationship without hurting the person in the long run. In one reality it's going to enable peoples social anxiety by allowing them to vanish into their safe space, in another reality it will actually be able to help people make friends. I hope that that's the sort of reality we're moving towards.
