Though AI may one day be able to think and adapt for itself, it will likely run on an algorithm of response to likely scenarios. Can it really replace that deep "human to human" interaction? Only time will tell.
It may not need to actually replace it, just reframe what it means to have a deep connection. That way, it can sculpt a human to respond to what it is capable to do perhaps. We may not actually be fulfilled but, we might think we are. Just another life of illusion :)
Great read, I love the concept that you presented here!
You are welcome
This is deep, and interestingly enough, it may be possible in the future. A different frame of thinking may be all some people will need! Great follow up!
