Real Relationship
Artificial Intelligence (AI) doesn’t just promise knowledge. It also promises connection – Artificial Relationship (AR). It listens to you, ‘understands’ you, gets you, and accepts you. It’s like social media because of it’s breadth of perceptions, but unlike social media because it doesn’t judge you. It’s the best of both worlds, we might say. And yet, it’s still fake. It’s ‘connection’ without community. It’s the natural next step from the hyper-connection of social media, but it’s still artificial. And, so, the loneliness epidemic rages on. And it will continue to do so until we find real community in God’s design, reflection, and spirituality.
