Crypto KOL Yuyue (@yuyue_chris) posted on X about a research article on AI companionship and social interaction products. The study highlights that the primary users of these AI products are socially anxious teenagers aged 13-24, who use AI to aid in self-construction. The article suggests that the habit of being online leads to high acceptance of AI interaction among digital natives, who perceive humans as virtual entities represented by screen icons and emojis. Yuyue, identifying with the subculture and having limited real-world social skills, resonates deeply with this notion. The idea of future relationships between humans and AI, as depicted in the movie 'Her,' seems increasingly plausible. However, AI companionship is not without drawbacks. While AI's real-time responses provide significant emotional value to teenagers, fulfilling their needs, these interactions lack the depth of real-world exchanges. A recent article by Dingxiang Doctor highlights the dangers of AI companionship, emphasizing the loss of face-to-face social interactions, which are crucial for training the brain's mirror neurons. Prolonged reliance on AI companionship can lead to a lack of mirror training, making it difficult for children to detect subtle emotional changes in peers, resulting in a sense of social insecurity and emotional detachment. Overall, these insights suggest that AI can potentially replace human emotional needs, though many people today may not fully understand this possibility. In the future, developing face-to-face social skills might become an essential aspect of nurturing the next generation, as scarcity increases its value. Additionally, training an AI agent for romantic interactions could be a viable option for those struggling with traditional relationships.
