In a survey of 9 to 17 year olds, 2/3 use chatbots. Of those, 35% say it is like talking to a friend and 12% do so because they have no one else to talk to. https://futurism.com/lonely-children-ai-chatbots
The 22 year old CEO of an AI startup, friend.com, placed thousands of ads in NYC subways with white space for people to write comments like "AI doesn't care if you live or die". https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/million-dollar-ai-campaign-defaced We are witnessing the transformation of social media from human generated to human moderated to AI moderated to AI generated. The only thing worse than AI not caring if you live or die is humans not caring either. Technology makes everything better. Surely there is a technological solution to this. The AI doomers like MIRI and LessWrong seemed focused on an entirely different problem, on AI NOT giving us everything we want. Wanting to go extinct is an existential threat too.
