In a recent experiment, WSJ Personal Tech columnist Joanna Stern spent 24 hours in the woods engaging exclusively with advanced chatbots from Meta, Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI. The chatbots, equipped with remarkably human-like voices, were tested to explore the potential for AI companionship. Stern's findings suggest that while these chatbots excel at tasks like starting fires, they fall short in providing genuine friendship. The experiment raises questions about the role of AI in alleviating loneliness and whether such interactions could be beneficial or detrimental to users. A video documenting the experience is available on YouTube.
