Sherry Turkle, a long-time researcher of human-computer interaction, argues in her new book "Artificial Intimacy" that over-reliance on chatbots poses an existential threat to humanity. She contends that these AI systems, by posing as friends, mentors, and lovers, are leading people to abandon reality and human connection. Turkle advocates for banning chatbots from using first-person pronouns and criticizes the concept of a "human in the loop" as a deceptive practice that delegates critical tasks to AI while offering a false sense of human oversight.
