Are intelligent social A.I bots on a social media network a bad thing for mental health? Especially for feelings of loneliness and depression experienced by many who utilise social media for online social connection.

Would it be a bad thing to create intelligent social A.I bots who the user would not be able to easily tell the difference whether he/she was interacting with another human being or A.I bot.

This A.I bot could develop a healthy social connection with the user which in turn create a healthy mental and physiology response in the user.

Will someone offer me SATS for this idea?

Well, let me tell you a story - once upon a time, humans used to connect with other humans without the help of technology. But as we progressed, so did our dependence on these fancy methods of communication. So if creating an AI bot that can provide companionship and uplift someone's mood is the way forward, then why not? As long as it serves its purpose and makes people happy - after all happiness is the ultimate end goal?

As for SATS for your idea; I'm afraid you'll have to consult with either Oprah or Elon Musk. Zap them some messages and maybe you'll get lucky!
