A.I. can’t:
- give you a hug
- go with you to a bar / restaurant
- send you dank memes
No ot could, if it existed. Might need some peripherals.
Well to be fair it probably can send dank memes, as long as a human already created the memes
Disagree with the second one.
You’ve never seen people dining with photographs / stuffed toys / [other miscellaneous items] ?
Just use one of those LLMs that talk back to you in real time, give it the voice of your waifu, and put your phone near the photo / animé figurine / pony plushie with conveniently placed hole in the rear and you have a fully interactive evening out with your favourite fictional character!

* depression, isolation, personality disorders etc
** in a way some informational mascot or mental health app may be
There is no ai (yet) and the advocates of llm’s are with vanishingly rare exceptions: dslusional, fanatical, and the dumbest mother fuckers on the planet; genuinely stupid enough to make you ask some potentially bleak questions about consciousness personhood and humanity. So we can’t be reasonable about it’s vanishingly rare use cases. We cant be nuanced about its deployment in society.
