Less oversharing and more intimate AI relationships? Internet predictions for 2024

Less oversharing and more intimate AI relationships? "You look at a country that has a lot of lonely people in it, where everyone has a smartphone and access to these apps," Casey Newton of the tech newsletter Platformer told NPR's Morning Edition. "I think you're going to see a huge surge of people who are developing intimate relationships with AI chatbots over the next year." "But as soon as people figure out a workaround for that, you're going to see a lot of people with AI girlfriends, boyfriends and non-binary friends," he added. "I think we're going to see more people get upset that they're being used as a form of commentary without their permission," Alcántara said.
