We tend to think of our egos as coming independently from deep inside ourselves, but psychologically, it’s always been formed in relationship to others.
What unnerves me about the longer-term picture is how AI’s immersion into society will shape relationships between people as humans and what predetermined understanding and misunderstandings can occur. I think it may increase manipulation and ignorance in this way.
My fear is that young people who have little self-control will just cave into the easier and comfortable mode of talking to and listening to AI, delaying and/or shortening face to face communication, thereby becoming isolated but content. Until they aren't. Then they will have virtually no real communication skills. Get ready for a busy schedule!
This is really, really good.
