They are not real, but they can be your friends. At least, that is what Mark Zuckerberg believes that chatbots, especially those of his business. During an interview with the Dwarkesh Patel podcastor, transmitted by 404 Media, the goal pattern declared what they thought of these colleagues. While on average, Americans have, according to Zuckerberg, not many friends, conversational robots will be a way of having more, says the billionaire.
“The average American has less than three friends, three people who consider friends,” said Mark Zuckerberg, citing a statistic that has discovered working on social networks for so long. “And the average American requires much more. I think they are 15 friends or something,” he added.
But if people want more “connections” than they already have, many questions are asked such as “will they replace physical connections or connections in real life?” Said Mark Zuckerberg.
Increasingly convincing chabtots
Mark Zuckerberg believes that chatbots are currently “a little stigmatized”, but that society will eventually “find vocabulary” to explain why they are useful, but also why people who go towards them are right and how they add value to their lives.
“Already, one of the main uses of goal is to talk about the difficult conversations they have to have with people around them.” I have a problem with my girlfriend, help me to have this conversation. “Or” I must have a difficult conversation with my boss at work. How can I have this conversation? “It’s very useful,” said Meta Boss.
According to him, “as the customization loop is configured and AI begins to know you better and better, it will be really convincing.”
Mark Zuckerberg also believes that the chatbots field is still at an early stage. If some companies already offer virtual therapists or brides, “the incarnation of these things is still quite weak,” according to him, because there is only one image of the person we are talking about. “
