This will never happen to me. These companies can't even be trusted with the data they're already sucking out of us as it is. There is no way that I'd ever, in a million years, be willing to invite them in to spy on my most intimate and personal life. That's insane. I'd even have to distance myself from friends and family who did this, because it's very likely they'd throw me under the bus as a side-effect.
Friends don’t (usually?) earn money by collecting data on you and trying to influence you. Of these were completely (and actually) not for profit companies simply providing advice based on whatever knowledge base they have without other additional interests, it could make sense (1). But we know this is not the case.
(1) A huge caveat is that limiting yourself to AI-only “friends” is still problematic, at least because your social interactions are basically AI prompts and not interactions with actual people who don’t pretend they know everything. There are of course other caveats.

This is the kind of ridiculous statement that gives AI a bad name. "Everyone"? Maybe him and his weird mates.
Megaman battle network was way ahead of itself. It even predicted that all of the IOT devices would be full of viruses!
yep.
from a narcissistic egoist who is extremely serious about spreading bullshit with a straight face.
who the fuck needs or wants a poxy word-guessing ai companion.
It sounds more like the promotion of automaton ai sex dolls.
We will have AGI and Quantum laptops in 5 years too.
we will, we will, we will.
