Triggered by the "Safe AI Companions" collective we have recently created, I have been reading a lot over summertime: From digital intimacy to the issue of self-delusion in development teams. I am happy to share some of my new views. In my thought-provoking collection of 7 articles, with the title "AI Companions: From Banality of Evil to Fair Artificial Intimacy", I delved into some unknown observations with direct implications on the AI companion ecosystem.

This is the content of my series:

• Introduction – The banality of evil: What is the fear of AI?       

• Part 1 – The banality of evil: The risk of self-delusion in the AI development teams.        

• Part 2 – The banality of evil: The origin of a dangerous combi

• Part 3 - The banality of evil: A toxic cocktail - Example of chai.ml          

• Part 4 - The banality of evil: Is artificial intimacy with an AI companion a risk?

• Part 5 - The banality of evil: Are AI companions essential to society?      

• Conclusion – The banality of evil: AI companions in the society of the future.

Please join me on this journey into the heart of AI's complex allure. Looking forward to your reactions and feedback. Happy reading!
