summary: |
The essay is a scathing critique of the AI-powered wearable device called 'Friend,' marketed as a solution to loneliness. The author argues that this device, which aims to provide artificial companionship through a ChatGPT-like interface, is not only creepy and dystopian but also exacerbates the very problem it claims to solve. Rather than fostering genuine human connection, it promotes further isolation and dependence on technology. The essay highlights the fundamental flaw in tech's approach to societal issues, which often involves creating monetizable products without addressing root causes. The author calls for tangible AI use cases that enhance human experiences rather than replacing them with artificial substitutes.
