> It's called family or a close friend.

It's good you are socially privileged, but a lot of people do not have someone close who they can feel secure to confide in. Even a therapist doesn't help here, as a lot of people have pre-existing conditionings about what a therapist is "I'm not crazy, why do I need a therapist?".

Case in point, my father's cousin lived alone and didn't have any friends. He lived in the same house his whole life, just outside London by himself, with no indoor toilet or hot water. A few years ago, social services came after the neighbours called, because his roof collapsed and he was just living as if nothing was wrong. My father was his closest living family, but they'd not spoken in 20 years or more.

I feel this kind of thing is more common than you think. Especially with older people, they may have friends from the outside, but they aren't close with them that they can talk about whatever is on their mind.






I did address the fact that not everyone has a family or a close friend.

What you described isn't a good fit for using AI. What would an LLM do for him?

The fact his roof collapsed and he didn't think much of it indicates a deeper problem only a human can begin to tackle.

We really shouldn't be solving deep societal problems by throwing more tech at them. That experiment has already failed.


Having arms and legs isn't "physically privileged". If one is unable to create and maintain relationships then they likely have some cocktail of physical and mental disabilities. Most functioning adults can go to a bar.

The point being fixing your own life is going to bring much more in the way of benefits than the government or Sam trying to fix it for you. If one are a complete social reject then no amount of AGI will save them. People without close relationships are zombies that walk among us, in most ways they are already dead.


I bet talking to stranger in the bar will do more harm than talking to the free version of chatgpt.
