I'm exploring the idea that social media is not really social. How much different is it to interact with chatbots than it is to intermediate our human interactions through social media?<p>The name is an homage to Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, which asks (and maybe answers?) similar questions. How much "like a human" is enough? Do we care in the end?<p>friendlyfriends uses LLMs that are probably not really human enough to answer these questions, but I'm giving it a shot anyways.
