    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?

        "people in cities HATE it" becomes a big selling point.

        This could work...

              I mean, that's two verticals covered right?

                    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.

                              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”.

                                      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.

                                          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"
