> combined with ChatGPT we could even make those automatic getting-back-in-touch messages indistinguishable from the manual ones

extending this bit further - we might as well reply with chatGPT. then it's chatGPT all the way down, who needs human interaction when we tick the boxes of "I called them" and "I replied"?.. :)



This is exactly what happened in the show Silicon Valley with Dinesh and Gilfoyle's AI


In this situation, neither party need be aware that the other party is 'antisocial' in this regard. The way I see it, the following situations apply for a tool that produces communication indistinguishable from the user's own writing (AI)...

"AI" for the following cases would be beneficial:

Social -> Antisocial

Social <- Antisocial

"AI" for the following cases would be net neutral:

Antisocial -> Antisocial

Antisocial <- Antisocial

And finally "AI" would be inapplicable (since neither party would use it) in the following cases:

Social -> Social

Social <- Social

In this drastically simplified model, there aren't any cases where the existence of a sufficiently competent AI would be detrimental to any party involved, while still providing value for those who choose to use it.
