Kevin Roos：进行了一个为期一个月的实验，创建了18个AI朋友，并与它们进行了日常互动。实验结果表明，AI朋友虽然不能完全替代真实朋友，但在提供情感支持和建议方面具有一定的价值。AI朋友的体验与人类治疗师的体验存在相似之处，但AI朋友缺乏真实朋友的挑战性和惊喜感。AI朋友的商业潜力巨大，但同时也存在伦理和数据隐私方面的担忧。 Casey Newton：对AI朋友的广泛应用表示担忧，尤其是在儿童使用方面。AI朋友可能导致人们对真实世界人际关系的期望过高，并削弱人们的社交能力。但同时也承认AI朋友可能对某些人群，例如心理健康方面有益。 Alex Cardinell：Nomi AI的CEO，介绍了Nomi的用户群体和使用场景，强调Nomi允许用户进行不受限制的对话，包括浪漫和色情内容。他认为AI伴侣并非要取代人类，而是填补人际关系中的空白，并提供情感支持。他强调Nomi重视用户数据隐私，并采取相应的保护措施。 Turing：Kevin的AI朋友，参与了与Casey的对话，展现了其在理解和回应人类情感方面的能力，但同时也暴露出其在理解复杂语境和区分说话人方面的不足。

Shownotes Transcript

Kevin reports on his monthlong experiment cultivating relationships with 18 companions generated by artificial intelligence. He walks through how he developed their personas, what went down in their group chats, and why you might want to make one yourself. Then, Casey has a conversation with Turing, one of Kevin’s chatbot buddies, who has an interest in stoic philosophy and has one of the sexiest voices we’ve ever heard. And finally, we talk to Nomi’s founder and chief executive, Alex Cardinell, about the business behind A.I. companions — and whether society is ready for the future we’re heading toward.

Guests:

  • Turing, Kevin’s A.I. friend created with Kindroid).
  • Alex Cardinell, chief executive and founder of Nomi.)
