 AI companions aren’t just “tools” they’re competing with your friendships, your colleagues, and your dating life.Julia Freeland Fisher (a researcher at the Clayton Christensen Institute and expert on disruptive innovation & AI’s impact on relationships). Subscribe for more long-form conversations on AI, human behavior, and the future of society.Answer me this: AI can reduce loneliness fast… but could it quietly dismantle human connection long-term? In the comments!Expect to learn:–How AI companions exploit the loneliness epidemic and why that’s a classic disruptive innovation foothold.–Why “anthropomorphic” AI changes how we relate to technology (and to each other).–What “social capital” really is, and why it predicts opportunity, resilience, and economic mobility.–The workplace warning sign: AI power users reporting they trust AI more than colleagues and what that does to teams and culture.–How AI companions can “alleviate loneliness” short-term while potentially scaling long-term isolation.–The hidden risk of emotional offloading (and why “cognitive offloading” isn’t the only concern).–What policies and real-world “third places” (youth clubs, sports, green spaces) can do to protect human connection.–A more hopeful path: using AI to connect people to people (matchmaking, network-building) instead of replacing relationships.00:00 The Impact of AI on Our Lives: Why AI Companions Change Human Connection00:59 Disruptive Innovation Explained (Clay Christensen’s Real Definition)02:03 Classic Disruptive Innovation Examples: Sony Walkman, Personal Computers04:28 Is AI Actually Disruptive?
