Artificially Yours
Real Friendship in a World of Chatbots
Book •
In 'Artificially Yours,' Valerie Tiberius explores the nature of friendship and whether artificial intelligence can genuinely participate in meaningful human relationships.
She argues that mutual concern is central to genuine friendship and expresses skepticism that current AI systems can truly care for people.
The book addresses social and ethical concerns about the growing use of chatbots for companionship, including risks of manipulation and fraud.
Tiberius situates the discussion within philosophical and psychological frameworks to evaluate what makes connections authentically valuable.
The work serves as both a philosophical inquiry and a practical warning about relying on sycophantic AI in place of real human bonds.
