I wonder if when it truly becomes indistinguishable from reality if people won't increasingly seek direct experiences with fellow humans. We're already experiencing this as a family. AI is such a strange mental rabbit hole, we're suffering from "tailored for you" fatigue. When you just want some objective answers, what pleases you the best is NOT useful, and at this point in the curve, you have to work harder to get LLMs to give you what you need rather that what it thinks will engage you more. My adult kids have started gathering to play board games and hang out in person whereas three years ago they'd be content to play online games together. We're hitting that threshold, right now, where our biology is pushing back.

I don't think the future as painted for us presently is as guaranteed as those would profit from it would like you to think.
