Friend: A platform that connects you to random AI "friends."
Friend, the company that made waves on tech Twitter for spending $1.8M on its domain, just launched what feels like an AI version of Omegle. It connects you to random "friends," each with their own baggage, for one-on-one chats. Right away, I noticed how blunt and overly confessional these "friends" areβalmost an over-correction from ChatGPTβs typical politeness and stiffness. But instead of feeling more human, it comes off as a meaner, sadder AI. Thereβs a sweet spot they seem to have missed hereβsome fine-tuning could make a big difference
