People had started asking intimate, secret questions to AI, which they aren’t comfortable to ask their friends or family.
The latest OpenAI’s ChatGPT had been assisting the users in various ways, from being a tutor to earning money out of it. In a recent attempt, a firm brought life and a physical form to ChatGPT, by using holographic display called “Uncle Rabbit”, where users can converse with the AI much like a friend.
