"Hello there, fellow Humans."

Impressive how a single guy pathology shaped an entire generation and the internet

In order to be my friend, I'm going to have to require verification that you're a human. Please tell me the exact GPS coordinates of all the traffic lights on Earth.

F me…

Does no one see the propaganda potential for this? Yeah, let’s give one guy more intimate, influential control over the psyche of hundreds of millions.

How people still use meta products is beyond me

Of course he would say that, Chatbots are the only friends he has.

he's right. I don't have any friends.

because I refuse to use his shitty platform and every human I have came in contact with for my entire life is so hollow and selfish they can't interact with a human being without some form of technology.

so I come on lemmy and harass fascist supporting scum as a hobby.

I mean he's not wrong about the former, but he can fuck off about the latter.

When Zuck builds his inevitable broligarch dick rocket, he should try to land it on the sun.

online human friends still can't compete with seeing them in person ... wtf a chatbot gonna do to fix this?

Not saying we shouldn't talk to friends online and stuff it's just that real humans are having difficulties filling these gaps.

Also, why the fuck would I want a friend like that'll snitch me out and be used to sell me shit? I swear, he wants us hooked on these things and be like, "Subscribe now or your friends will be shut off forever!"

That’s just cause he has no friends, so he assumes you don’t either.

"the average American has fewer than three people who would suck their dick, fewer than three people that would even consider it. And the average person has demand for meaningfully more.”

I already know a couple of people who already talk to chatbots as if they were their friends. This is so depressing... And by the current state of things, I might be reading bot publications and replying to bots here and there, without knowing. That just increases my will to die

This dude will lose his money. Facebook and meta will collapse under the weight of fake content.

Is that so? Will the chatbots help me pack a van when I need to move? Will they stand next to me at my wedding? I'm thrilled to hear that bots can finally replace friends! (Something the people have been clamoring for)

Bit of projection there, Mr. Suck.

He doesn't think much of anything himself. He's a scared little boy, because that's where he cut his teeth. He has no vision for anything, just reaction and fear.

Not even opening that. I'm tired of these clickbait and hatebait articles.

I would rather talk to a 37 year old human with a hello kitty pfp on some obscure otacore furry/anime forum that absolutely nobody has heard of than give your dogshit AI skinwalkers ten seconds of my attention dawg.

You took my routine. My health. My taste in music, the books I read, the places I go, the movies I watch. My every aspiration and passing thought was a transactional end point for slop firms.

I will die old and lonely before I let you turn my friendships into a fucking commodity LMAO.

I could live out the remainder of my life without using a Zuckerberg product and be totally fine with that.

I have very few friends, but chatbots are not the answer.

Fuck you four eyes

I don’t. But that’s by design.

I'm wondering whether this is a privileged/feels like deserves privilege white guy thing.

Down here with the queerdos and minorities, I'm seeing people engage more fully with each other, be more willing to take on friends and lovers, in the last few months.

Some are getting caught by chat bots, yes, but a lot of people are out there trying to grab human connection while we still can.

I certainly feel like the "I'm the übermensch and revel in cruelty, empathy is a weakness" mentality that the straight basic wypipo have adopted will not only discourage other people from wanting to be their friend, but also discourages themselves from seeking friendship, because they see it as a weakness.

Who needs friends when we have each other, amirite? Right guys? …guys?

Dammit, Zuck! You don't have to hide behind a "chatbot", just fucking tell me if you want to be my friend.

Also, no. But be fucking honest about it.

I would rather talk with the guards in Whiterun than your chatbot, zuck.

android zuckerberg married to a human wife.

I don’t need friends. I’m married.

Funny, less than an hour ago I heard Ed Zitron speculate that these uber-rich tech bros invent these things because they don't know how to socialise, and they think everybody is like that.
