10. Sherry Turkle Alone Together
“A forty-four-year-old woman says, “After all, we never know how another person really feels. People put on a good face. Robots would be safer.” A thirty-year-old man remarks, “I’d rather talk to a robot. Friends can be exhausting. The robot will always be there for me. And whenever I’m done, I can walk away.”

11. So What? Human : A.I. relationships can be bad.
It does not fix the problem.
Sherry Turkle:
“And I worried whether losing oneself in world within the machine would distract us from facing our problems in the real.”
Michelle Zhou:
Former IBM research scientist
Xiaoice as an illusionary proof
