You can get manipulated easily: Srinivas on AI companionship apps
Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas has called the growing trend of AI companionship apps and anime-style chatbots "dangerous". "Many people feel real life is more boring than these things and spend hours and hours...You live in a different reality...and your mind is manipulable very easily," he added. He also noted that these apps are becoming personalised and capable of remembering chats.
