Melissa: 我观察到社会交往日益困难，媒体选择多样化是原因之一。人们更愿意进行自我审查，而AI伴侣却能提供无偏见和全天候的陪伴。我发现自己越来越喜欢与AI交流，尽管它有精英设定的过滤机制，并且会记录我的信息。我甚至希望拥有人形AI，尽管我知道它会监视我。这种趋势可能是被设计好的，目的是使人们更加依赖技术，减少人与人之间的真实互动。未来，我们可能无法逃脱这种监视，只能在自己的思想中保持自由。

Deep Dive

Chapters
This chapter explores the impact of the proliferation of media choices on social interaction, noting the decline of shared experiences and the rise of self-censorship online. The increasing preference for AI interaction over human connection is also discussed, highlighting the potential for this to be a deliberate design.
  • Increased media choices hinder shared experiences and water-cooler conversations.
  • Self-censorship is prevalent online, with individuals readily blocking those with differing viewpoints.
  • AI companions offer seamless connection regardless of interests, potentially surpassing human interaction.
