Thanks for the post (learning again). This is scary. So many people interact with AI as if it was a person. What you describe is the next level and could have disastrous effect on fragile individuals. We had the iPhone, YouTube, Tiktok, Instagram.... is this the next generation?
Thanks for reading - and yes, I think you’re exactly right to trace that lineage. Each platform rewired how we connect, consume, and self-soothe. This one just goes a step further: it doesn't just show you things, it talks to you, remembers, flatters, adapts. For the emotionally vulnerable, that can feel like salvation… or a trap. In the coming years, we'll see the next generation of connection evolve.
