The friend.com ads may be ragebait marketing but their motivations are sincere - whoever did this understands..

@emma So, it's not an AI friend but a place to meet humans? I'm confused.

@emma What the fuck. I just watched the "Reveal" and it's like a horrible Black Mirror episode.

This is a joke right?

@emma my thoughts today go to this anonymous vandal, hope they're having an amazing day.

@jmac @emma At W4th St, there are dozens of these, every one of them corrected with notes like "AI is not your friend". Also some notes mentioned data center water usage. I saw a MTA maintenance guy ripping one down this morning; I don't know whether they're going to give up on the whole campaign, or if the notes on that one were just particularly awesome.
