That’s because Snapchat, like the rest of Big Social, is trying to replace people’s friends with AI chatbots.
From Snapchat’s perspective, I understand the motive. If someone prefers to talk to AI chatbots, it’s that much easier to lock them into their platform.
Except most people still prefer their own friends—and they don’t like it when AI comes between them and the people they love
@atomicpoet ..and us introverts...having a chatbot crawling all over your phone when you want to browse uninterrupted is an unforgivable invasion of our energy space.
@atomicpoet I've felt the same way about every pseudo human tech from Clippy onwards. I nuked every one. They irritate me intensely because I find deceit repellant.
Why do people tolerate machines designed to fool them into interacting with them like trained puppies? 🤷♂️
