Wow Article: Can AI Be Our New Friends?

 



 Mark Zuckerberg, the boss of Meta (the company that owns Facebook), talked about friendship and technology. He said that many people today feel lonely. Some people do not have close friends. Zuckerberg thinks that artificial intelligence (AI) can help.

He believes that AI can be like a friend. For example, you can talk to AI, and it will listen to you. AI can chat with you when you feel alone. Zuckerberg thinks that in the future, people will have AI friends. These AI friends can help us feel less lonely.

However, some people are worried. They think that if people spend too much time with AI, they will talk less to real people. Real friendships are important. Friends can help us, make us happy, and support us in difficult times. Some people say that AI cannot replace real friends.

Zuckerberg says that AI is not here to replace human friends, but to help people who feel lonely. He hopes that AI can make life better for everyone.
