AI & Me: What would AI tell your retrenched friend?

from The Afternoon Update with Lynlee Foo · host MONEY FM 89.3

A friend just called you up saying she has been retrenched. She has a mortgage to pay, bills piling up, and no idea what comes next. What would you say and what would AI say? On AI & Me, Lynlee Foo puts AI to the test, asking how it would support a friend facing job loss and financial uncertainty. Would its advice be practical, empathetic, or surprisingly human? As more people turn to AI for guidance during life's toughest moments, this experiment explores what happens when a chatbot becomes a source of reassurance, perspective and next steps.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
