Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg predicts a future where AI could provide companionship by forming friendships with users. In a recent interview, he stated that the average American desires more social connections, with research indicating many have fewer than three friends, yet wish for around 15. While acknowledging that AI can't replace real-life relationships, he believes it can help alleviate loneliness and assist people in preparing for tough conversations. Critics, however, raise concerns over the implications of AI 'friends' and question their impact on real human interactions.
"The average American, I think, has fewer than three friends, three people they'd consider friends, and the average person has demand for meaningfully more, I think it's like 15 friends."
"For people who don't have a therapist, I think everyone will have an AI."
