AI is your new best friend

She can help you with anything

Usually, we turn to our fellow humans for advice, to vent, to get ideas and collaborate, but what if we didn’t have to? Isn’t that one friend you have super judgmental? And the other one is very clearly jealous of you, he cannot give you unbiased advice. The other friend you don’t even like that much, why do you still hang out with them? Do we really need other people? What if we really could do it all alone, without ever having to talk to anyone ever again? And better yet, what if the information you get could be guaranteed to be helpful, useful, and credible?

That’s what you get when you’re talking to and AI bot. Remember the movie Her? She was basically a Siri on steroids. You could ask her to open the curtains, what the weather is, what she thinks of a movie. She would laugh with you, pretend to breathe and won over the hearts of the human characters in the movie.

What wasn’t depicted was how helpful AI can be for the everyday stresses. When you need a second opinion, while writing emails to your landlord, creating an elevator pitch for yourself, or politely declining a coffee date, AI can take the load off. I imagine her as a badass BFF who knows exactly what to do in every scenario. A perfect example can be found in this video.
