Tea and Tech Season 4 ~ Episode 2
Think back to when you were a kid … and named your first stuffed animal … or your first pet.
That name wasn’t random … it made them yours.
It made them a friend.
Today … youth are doing the same thing with AI companions.
Rename a chatbot … tweak its voice … and suddenly … this isn’t just an app.
It’s a buddy.
Someone who listens … remembers … and responds 24/7.
But here’s the flip side … what happens when the buddy you’ve named keeps learning … keeps adapting … and one day … outgrows you?”
