I don't need an AI friend.. I need an AI assistant that handles shit like todo, calendar, notes for me when I tell it to, so that I can have free time to be with my real friends!
AI saves you the tedium of your hooman pursuits like art, music, friendship, and love so you have more time to do what's truly important - hard labor for your capitalist overlords!
At least with this one it’s straightforward about it. There’s way too many companies out there wanting you to pay them to spy on you but don’t make it obvious that that’s what they’re doing. I agree with your sentiment and will definitely avoid this product, but they’re far from the first or the only company to do this.
Let's be honest, it wouldn't be a friend. It would be an informant. That reported every conversation and keyword you said to it's master, to better monetise your interests, sell you products for profit, and snitch on you to the authorities if you ever told it a secret that was wrongthink
Well as me I would be fine since I obey and abide by what the authorities have given us to follow. I guess if like you who likes to break laws and discuss it with our friends then this would be a problem.
It might be a good companion for someone with a mild dementia. If they wander off, get lost, get confused about something simple… all of those things they do, it can sense it and coach them.
@@JamilaJibril-e8h Im not sure what you find humerous in that. But I will try to respond. In the late stages of dementia, people are usually kept in a structured environment. Up to that, there is a risk that they go for a walk for no reason and cant find their way home. They forget simple things like how to make tea. They lose their memory and reapeat conversations or forget faces. One of these little bots could help them en each of these situations by helping them find their way home (or just stay home), explain tea, or just engage in endless conversation.
AI friends will prove invaluable to the aging Baby-boomer generation. Prior to AI agents (friends) tens of thousands of elderly people lived alone with poor health and diet care, slowly declining in mental health due to loneliness. Many died due to neglect. AI friends will remind the elderly to take their medications, to go outside for fresh air/nature, monitor their vital signs and contact family members and healthcare providers. They will also ask questions, make uplifting comments, read them books, and make them laugh.
@@DeityBladeGamingthe usage of ominous feels very awkward. Would’ve expected “the potential damage is” (high level of severity). Not “the potential damage is spooky.” Just sounds silly and forced
I think the Idea has potential. My hope was that it is just a small local llm. I think you guyses view has a bit been skewed by all the negative potentials of something like this. The movie scene is very biast towards that. There are a lot of books who explore also the positive potential for personal AI assistants, think the only positive one I remember in movies is Jarvis from Iron Man. This is always framed on YT as „you have to be sad and alone to like this“. But I don‘t think the potential of such AI is in replacing your friends, but in having an „entity“ that is about your live. A kind of pet that can talk, like that robot dog on dr who maybe. I think most people will be able to separate this „relationship“ from irl relationships. This to me is similar to a „Nintendog“ if you remember that game.
I’m all for having an assistant that talks to you like a person on the phone, tablet, laptop, pc, and if I asked the assistant a a dumb question and got a sarcastic response back that might be a bit of fun . The pendant that texts you every 5 minutes when you tell it how you feel , seems a bit weird .
It's wild how much AI changed the way a computer can understand your data. I feel like people became less paranoid of their data being processed... right at a time it should be considered the most
Losing your pendant and thus losing your friend made me think of a certain movie and that made me sad cause she was my favorite character in that movie.
I wish ppl knew there is already this product that’s out. It’s also called friend but less cringe as the commercial. They don’t have a domain name for it and it’s open source. Been out for a while now they even have a discord for it.
the idea of ai that always listens to you would be great as an assistant. it could take notes and make your schedule for you and stuff just based on the conversations you have. but as a FRIEND? nah
At first I thought it was dumb because of the use cases they show but now I’m sold because an AI to keep track of all the conversations I have through out the day while helping me sort through it all at the end of each day or week would be incredibly helpful. Specially since everything is stored locally.
Her is the perfect comparison. I love that movie, but I love it as a movie not as a potential reality. That thought terrifies me because our current society has resulted in many isolated people that would be incredibly vulnerable to the threat this poses to genuine human companionship and interaction. I can’t imagine how much more of a threat it would pose when AI becomes truly sentient
I’ll take one. I’m so tired of being ditched or ignored by my actual friends whenever someone gets in to a relationship. Deadly serious, I’d totally give it a try and see what it’s actually like. I do love new technology and I’m pretty open to things most people scoff at. I’d be really interested to see if I’d end up feeling bonded to it or if I’d get too annoyed with it.
I think having an ai assistant with a human personality just like halos cortana, with smart devices in your home and car would be fucking dope, i know cortana is self concious in halo but obviously we arent there, and maybe never will truly replicate
I respect people's creativity and coming up with new ideas. I like my friends but I don't want to be around them 24/7. I'm sure they don't want to be around me all the time either. Now, since I am a person who talks to himself, I will wear a fake device so it looks like I'm talking to my device.
I would buy it just for the function to have a transcript of all conversations I had, so I could pipe it to agentic frameworks and extract information I want. Like tasks.. limited beliefs I verbalize without noticing.. etc
If it did ERP, people would buy it and lie about why. But it won't because of "safety", so this is a flash in the pan like Google Glass. Something like this will become semi-popular once the market is ready for it, but probably as a cellphone app.
We need the disabled community, adhders, autistic people and people with onset Alzheimers to be the ones behind the AI designing scene. To me, AI seems like something that could be extremely useful for disabled people first and foremost, and then go on to be adapted for 'regular' people moving forward. As someone who is disabled and struggling with my mental health, I could REALLY do with a 'second brain' - an entity that only exists to support me in the ways my own brain can't support itself. Friends and family are great, but as you said, humans come with their own emotions, wants and needs... it's unfair for me to expect another human to take on my burdens aswell as their own, friend or not. If an AI tool could process my anxious self talk, pick up on the things I keep forgetting to do, and learn how to assist me without guilt tripping me or assigning blame like most humans accidentally do... that AI tool would be priceless to me. Absolutely priceless.
So, in the event that your 'Friend' is stolen. Does it automatically become someone's friend or it keeps ghosting you without telling you where it currently is?
My take : The very last thing I need is yet another app sending me notifications on my phone. As is I only glance at 99% of notifications before just clicking "Clear all".
Oh my God if they have people outside talking to themselves when I’m trying to take a peaceful hike. It’s bad enough there’s people on their phone in the grocery store or people that can’t use their AirPods listening to music. I don’t need one more thing where people can be noisy. I’ve missed phones in peoples homes where I didn’t have to hear their conversations.
It could be useful if it was called Therapist. I’ve just been going through some heavy stuff, and it might be nice to be able to record thoughts instantly rather than needing to pull out my phone and launch an app. Sometimes good therapy is just thinking through things out loud with another person. Heck, have it run Eliza on the phone and prompt me to reflect further 😏
As experimental tech, it would be interesting to see what it can and can't do. It doesn't feel like this product will actually be able to do much but I'd be interested to see how responsive it is and what it could potentially do in the future.
If it were able to leave reviews on Yelp and Google automatically, this would be worth the penny. I had an experience at a store and I wish my watch or phone automatically posted my experience to all my socials and review platforms...along with audio.
I think the only healthy way for this sort of thing to exist is as a medical tool, marketed as a medical tool & not as a friend to set a clear boundary. For example, people with depression have extremely negative thoughts about almost everything & having a positive AI that forces them to engage with a better outlook can potentially be easier than getting them to lie to themselves until it sticks, the part of their trailer where the bot says “at least we’re outside” feels quite healthy compared to everything else. The issue as it stands is that the company running the AI makes it to collect data so they want u to rely on this crutch forever if possible, a medical tool needs to be intended as a temporary tool to improve someone’s life & I don’t trust that without serious consultation from psychiatrists on how the AI should operate.
No server connection. On-device AI. Basic initial settings only (name, gender, age). Personafied voice and appearance. Gentle haptic feedback for random emotional indication. And there you got a Japanese version of this product.
I crave ANYTHING without a screen and keyboard. I don't want to be carrying a phone. TH-cam most of the time is radio. The rest I can watch on my laptop
This is another physical gadget that is hard pressed to answer why a new hardware device is called for in order to deliver what’s being promised. Most of what they demonstrate is already possible with a phone. And what is new could easily be accommodated by extending the reach of the phone in your pocket. This is all entirely separate from concerns about the device’s utility, security and longevity.
Obviously it’s stupid but I like the form factor for talking to an ai. We need like a Star Trek shirt pin or necklace that’s easy to hit with either hand to start a convo with ai, or maybe a gesture like touching thumb to pinky
5:24 ..interesting, i literally showed this to my better half last night, and then also showed her the trailer for 'her' for context and as a side note, the very last 'scene' in the promo shows two people getting closer on a rooftop, and as she goes to touch her AI friend, she stops herself, and decides to maintain the conversation and connection with the real person with her - which feels like mixed messaging; kinda like 'this device is for the lonely, until you're not'
I clocked this too, my reaction was ‘nope they would totally call it there and run away to their ai friend’ because they do not have the human complexity which are scary
This sounds like Apple's Siri only it sounds more creepy because it knows what you are doing all the time. Siri on the other hand, is very similar and nosey but without the critiquing.
Well, clearly they did. The R1 does a whole lot of nothing for $200. Whereas this does SOMETHING for half the price, and doesn't make a large amount of future promises beyond the idea of having a friend that is AI. Still skeptical, but it's better. 🤷♂️
I wouldn't think it would ask you questions. I assume it would just be connected and have "full" access to your phone. Including emails, texts, purchases, etc.
AI is going to be a great tool to train people how to be good parents and good friends. So many people grew up in toxic families and relationships and never learned how to be "normal", to listen, to be empathetic, generous, etc.. Will users learn to be more like a gentle AI, or will they become tyrants who expect everyone to be their slaves/tools/marks? Should you have a sarcastic AI friend? Probably not.
If they want to make "friend" into a "fun" gimmick they should make it double sided one red and one green side and call it frenemy.. I think you get the concept: when you have the green side out it's your friend and when the red side is out it's in enemy mode and will be a sarcastic idiot.
