Should educational institutions follow their advice for businesses? Should universities recruit with bots that build emotional ties with recruits the same way businesses will connect with you?
"In August 2024, Soul Machines, a company that creates autonomous AI avatars, released a survey finding Gen Z young adults are starting to prefer support from AI assistants over traditional self-help resources..."
Re: "starting to prefer." I'd argue that the survey results didn't quite affirm this claim. The results are published by SoulMachine as a PR piece to promote their product as if that is what Gen Z "would" choose if they "preferred" to use an AI assistant, which is highly speculative. We don't know the nature of the questions asked in this survey, which could be leading.
In a nutshell, this survey is PR fluff, and it doesn't reflect actual use cases - I'd place no value in it as a trend or a point of reality. I can't even get my Gen Z kid to TRY NotebookLM!
The sub-heading states, "Young adults prefer AIs to people." I'd be very careful with this.
