About this episode
*Anthropomorphise (v.): to attribute human characteristics or behaviour to non-human entities. What do you think about the idea of people building ‘relationships' with Al? Having a non-human ‘friend' where it's possible to have, what seems to be (on an experiential level), a human-like meaningful conversation, connection and exchange, that literally makes someone who's lonely, isolated, sad, anxious and/or socially disconnected feel better? Happier? Less worried? A relationship that (as weird as it seems to us right now) makes their life experience more tolerable? Less painful? I'm already 'having conversations’ with ChatGPT 4.0 which, to be honest, are not too far removed from the experience of having a phone conversation with someone who’s much smarter than me! All that and more (with Patrick and Tiff) on today's ep. Enjoy.
