AI COMPANION FUTURES

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

AI companions will become more enjoyable to talk to than humans due to financial incentives to optimize them as such and the lack of human constraints (like needing to sleep or having off days). Eventually, these omniscient-seeming life coaches will be omnipresent through wearable devices that most people will use for advice on all kinds of decisions while maintaining an illusion of control. Current LLMs already provide better high-level life guidance than the median person.
