Loneliness/Connectedness series - I "The AI Companion"

Dear friends

I hope you had a nice and safe transition to the spring !!. I hope the memories of winter are already fading with a lot of sun around :).

I am glad to announce a new series of thinking sessions on topic of feeling of loneliness or connectedness in our cafe philo Eindhoven. It is a fact that physcially we all are connected and entangled in a myriad of ways. Still there are epochs in our life when we feel the extreme loneliness or excellent connection. We would like reflect deep on this topic in the coming few months.

In this first session we will think about a popular and recent phenomenon of AI companionship. And in the projections its popularity is only going to rise with the increasing population who are feeling lonely in the planet and the quality of companionship, AI will bring in with its technological advancement.

What do you think about AI companionship?

Is it replaceable to real friendship?

What does AI lacks?

Is there any ethical issue in relying on AI when we are lonely?

And what is your projection on the future of AI and AI Friendship?

And a lot of questions you bring with.

Welcome to an exciting and harmonious collective thinking sessions!!

See you all soon!!
