    With AI it just seems pointless. I’m not teaching it anything it doesn’t already know of and I’m painfully aware that it just pretends to be interested.

    But with a proper AI assistant/friend that runs locally in your own home and doesn’t share data with a corporation I’d look at it as me rambling about things isn’t me teaching the assistant about the topic at hand, but about me. What I know, what I like, am passionate about etc. And from that I’d then expect more exciting interactions from the assistant in the future. Like it after having crawled the web all of a sudden say “hey did you read about the new study on [topic I’m interesting in and has gone on about]?” and then proceeds to tell me about it after I say that I haven’t.

      Yeah that’s true aswell. I guess I was thinking something like if I had an AI friend I probably wouldn’t want it to know everything there’s to know about mountain biking because I’d much prefer it asking me things about bikes and stuff and it actually mattering how well I can explain it back to it. I wouldn’t want it to act curious as if it didn’t know but then in the next sentence demonstrating it knows more than I do. I think that especially for men it’s important to bond over solving problems together and figuring things out. It’s different to be an expert on one field but if you know literally everything about everything then it’s just more like an assistant/search engine.
