Ok what if they did a rebrand and made a "chastity friend"
"The Christian AI that keeps you following Jesus."
Might make more headway with that one?

@futurebird @quinn A pair of talking underpants could also catch on as an ironic metaphore.
I mean, that's two verticals covered right?
You could sell different voices for them as DLC. -

"The Lord is my shepherd". What's that make me?

People would be less lonely if social media were more full of the real people they know and wanted to follow and less full of promoted posts and advertising.
Social media can be a part of a healthy social life. But I think many of the most popular aps have gotten so cluttered and detached from doing that they are making things worse.

if people were less loanly, who would the loan sharks eat? -

lonely sharks: they just want to be your friend. They won't fall on you and kill you, like a vending machine or a ... -
@futurebird @llewelly @quinn All the lonely Chondrichthyes, where do they all come from?

A lot of people have been talking about "friend.com" because they spent a ton of money on ads in every major city.
The ads are targeting young, early adopter, urban, tech-savy people with modest disposable income.
So me, basically.
And what do they think I want? It's so insulting, LOL. A "friend."
It's an AI assistant device. Makes no sense.
Delighted that these ads are being aggressively defaced. I guess they did "start a buzz" probably not the one they wanted.

@futurebird It’s really ironic that when I went to the website, the first thing I hit was a Captcha “to prove you’re human”.
If AI is so great why don't you sell your big new product to THEM? Hmm?

The 22-year-old AI CEO behind Friend.com necklace welcomes graffiti on his $1 million ad campaign: ‘Capitalism is the greatest artistic medium’ | Fortune
”The audience completes the work,” Avi Schiffmann, creator of the AI wearable, told Fortune. “I purchased the zeitgeist.”
Fortune (fortune.com)
The CEO claims he expected the ads to be defaced. I do not believe this.
**What would you think of someone who had this device on? **
This is supposed to be the trendy new thing to wear. Like a smart watch. But nobody will want to be caught dead with one. (even if they liked the product, which isn't even done yet and sounds awful even if it worked perfectly.)

@futurebird This is like the fourth or fifth consumer-targeted AI appliance. The fact that I can’t come up with the actual names of the others tells me how successful this idea has been so far.
people are so mad LOL... and the people making this are saying "no no no this is a good thing... we are having an impact."

If AI is so great why don't you sell your big new product to THEM? Hmm?
I was being kind of absurd with this comment but thinking about it more I think there is a real point buried here.
As in: interacting with people matters? even if you only want to sell things. But even more if you need "a friend"

@futurebird @quinn I think you are vastly, vastly underestimating the unrealized demand for an AI horny Jesus

Make me a magic phone that has no ads on it. That is the product I want. I don't need to install ad blockers and keep updating them. It just makes every single ad go away.
I would pay for that. That would be the "mental health tech" that I would go for.
Easy right?
LMAO
@futurebird
My phone has no ads, no spyware, no malware.Yes I know, you're not talking about my kind of phone, you want smartphone apps without ads/spyware, but that's what apps *are*. That's what smartphones *are*.
