Are We Losing Our Human Touch?

To what extent are we becoming distanced from society? Think about it, how many times have been tempted to have a cosy night in? Snuggled up on the sofa with a cup of tea or even a glass of wine about to binge on your favourite TV series or read a good book rather than venturing out in the unpredictable London weather to meet with a friend, that you could just as easily 'Whats App' or call?

I know I've been guilty of this before.

But with artificial intelligence (AI) on the rise, will we soon reach a point where we were go beyond this and in actuality actively choose to interact with an AI that is tailored to our needs and personality traits over a real life human, who if we are honest at times aren't always perfect? Beyond this, are we reaching a point where we will begin to depend on AIs for our intimate relationships and satisfaction too?  This latest post explores how out of touch we as a society have become and the potential consequences of this.
