[@Kratos-eg7ez]

If you use the real definition of ai, then yeah, it could love. What we have isn't real ai. Artificial intelligence means that it itself is intelligent. That's not what we have. We just have programming that is designed specifically to do certain tasks, and has no real intelligence. The reason we call it ai though is because it's easier, even I forget what it is actually supposed to be called. Now I'm sure that even when a real ai is created it will still be debated on whether it can love or not, and it really comes down to a personal opinion, because it would be absolutely impossible to prove or disprove. Yeah you can try to disprove it by saying it's just code, but when a computer is actually intelligent, can you say that for sure and have no doubt? You also can't prove it can love. I personally would be of the opinion that if we had a real ai that was actually jist like a human i would like it to have some form of rights, but there is no doubt people who say hell no its just a computer.

[@Sheridan2LT]

I think tech fatigue only happens when tech gets WORSE. You literally CANNOT get fatigued by convenience, since convenience is a thing you choose whether or not to have, not something you are literally forced to live with. The only way to circumvent tech fatigue is to make tech better, faster and more convenient. I almost kind of get the appeal of the Apple Vision Pro now that I think about it. You don't have to wrestle into your pockets for your phone, to unlock it, to type on the greasy keyboard, to wrestle with the slow performance and the bulky interface..... Like think about it. One of the most popular premium services, Spotify, you can listen to on the headset WITHOUT taking out your phone or keeping your phone opened constantly like you are required to on default Spotify Free. KZbin, like he showed in the video, you can literally watch while you're doing the dishes, without worrying about splashing your phone with water. Wet hands? No problem, you are literally touching the AIR. Even if you get dirt on your hands, you know you're not going to grease up your phone because you are not using a phone. I agree that it's dissociative and disconnected, but so is using a phone in public. Absolutely people stare down to look at their phones in public, because for most sane people the anxiety of city life is literally unbearable (worrying about pickpockets, people judging you, etc.) It's REALLY not that different to using your phone for 8 hours a day. I think it's definitely a bit better than a VR headset, because that literally just isolates you from everyone and everything, but in a way worse as well.

[@McP1mpin]

See I disagree with Eddie here. I don't think tech companies are forcing this on us, I think these are things that we asked for. How many people watched a movie like Minority Report and imagined what it would be like to be able to do those same things? How many dreamed of technology getting to a point where they can access information and create virtual worlds with a swipe of their hands? I know I did. It wasn't until seeing the product in action that I realized the dystopian nature of it, but that doesn't mean I get to retroactively pretend like I never wanted it in the first place. I did and millions of sci-fi dreamers like me did too.

I used to work remotely by myself at home. I didn’t have a car and the neighborhood was very unsafe, so groceries, supplies, and other things were delivered to me. The outside was felt through my computer and phone screen. This went on for about a month or so and that combined with the fact that I was overworking, sleep deprived, and not eating, I also experienced disassociation. People who I talked to on the screen felt like simulations. I couldn’t understand their emotions, why they laughed, why they said what they said. They felt like npcs, and I too felt like a robot. I was just going through the motions, and I slowly lost my mind, my habits, my hobbies, my aspirations, and my joy in life. There’s a lot of detail I don’t want to get into but it took an intervention to get me out of that hole. I moved back in with my parents and almost 7 months later life is still not completely the same. Everything I had built before then was almost completely destroyed. It is too easy to live life online. Everything is so convenient with technology. But, I don’t think humans are built for that. Not a sane one anyways. 😕
