Ever wonder if a bot could be your bestie? This talk, inspired by sci-fi classics and Gary Numan's "Are 'Friends' Electric?", dives deep into what it means to be human when AI companions are no longer just a fantasy. With loneliness on the rise, it asks if electric pals could be the answer, or if they'll totally reshape our understanding of connection, love, and what makes us, well, us.
It doesn't shy away from big questions: can AI truly "get" culture or feel emotions like love and heartache? And could these digital buddies actually be better for us than human ones, or will we just end up even more isolated and dependent? Get ready to ponder if our future friends are truly electric.
