Well don't blame your friend. We are transitioning into a new world where system is able to simulate human interaction. Let me try to phrase it better humans are getting more comfortable accepting that computers are displaying real emotions and are understanding what we feel.

Imagine a world where you don't feel void left by someone because you already have that relationship with AI bot. 😕 Depressing ain't it. I mean what the hell, I am talking about a void left by a real person and some computer code is just filling in for it. Everything will be perfect and you will start missing the small imperfections that annoyed you once.

Friends with whom you share thoughts and argue will be gone. Family with who you rely on having your back. A companion with whom you can share life. All will be gone and one is left with a code that is there just to validate the thoughts.

Happy AI-pocalypse. 😕
BTW eleven labs is awesome with its text to voice feature, that gives voice to many introverts
