Fernando Borretti challenges the assumption that people will naturally socialize more if AI reduces work. Workplaces, schools and open-source projects also provide recurring opportunities to form relationships, and automation or personal assistants may weaken some of those settings. Highly personalized entertainment competes for the same time. A related essay argues that intellectual communities supply recognition and motivation as well as knowledge. This is an argument about deliberately sustaining social environments, not an empirically established forecast of an automated future.
