Robot Friend
I want one. I wish they would hurry up and develop artificially intelligent robots. The best thing about such a thing is that I could turn them on and off as I needed them. So I need a bit of friendly conversation, I turn it on, but when it starts going on a bit much, I just pull the plug. Kind of like a pet dog - in that when you want to talk they listen, and when you want to rest, they sit quietly at your feet. But you don't have to feed a robot. What's not to like?

Re: Robot Friend
Yeah, but I can't hug a Samaritan over the phone.

They're a voluntary counselling service that people can call when they're in crisis.

Re: Robot Friend
Trouble with Samaritans is they are there to listen not suggest solutions like the CAB or local mafia. I've got a owl dust gatherer that does exactly the same thing and no chance of accidentally meeting it in the pub later for a emotional rewind.

Re: Robot Friend
I'm not sure there could be the mutual respect between an ai and a human that there must be for there to be a true friendship. For one thing, the power dynamic would be insurmountable - you have veto on everything and if your 'friend' gets too much you can just switch him off for a while.
What you will have is a conversation slave you pretend to be on equal footing with. It might be entertaining; it might be useful; but it won't be your friend.
