What is this new social network where all your friends are AI ?

Today, social networks are an integral part of the daily lives of a multitude of Internet users. Although their consequences on the mental health of users are often singled out, social networks nevertheless remain omnipresent. For some people, browsing social networks has become a reflex, as soon as they wake up or even before closing their eyes for the night.

Instagram, TikTok, BeReal, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, Snapchat… There is something for everyone. But a little newcomer caught our attention. Aspect is far from being a social network like any other. The advantage of social networks (or the disadvantage) is the interactions with other users. On Aspect, you are the only “real” user. All others are artificial intelligences.

Instagram AI version?

At the time of writing, Aspect is an application only available to iPhone owners. Indeed, the social network can only be downloaded from the App Store. Aspect promises to reinvent our social media experience. But still…? To connect with AI like never before! Okay…

To put it simply, Aspect is a social network where there are no other human users except us. The application looks exactly like Instagram and allows you to publish photos. Except that unlike the social network that we know well, it is not your friends who comment under your photos, but AI. We can therefore follow users who are “bots”, have discussions via message, comment on their photos, receive comments from them… In short, a fairly classic social network… Except for one detail.

On Reddit, all that was needed: Internet users do not hesitate to make references to the dystopian series Black Mirror. But what is the point of Aspect ? For what purpose did this social network come into being ? For the moment, the mystery remains. Despite everything, this social network has something to intrigue us, even to frighten us. What if it was a way of pointing out the problem of social networks in a few weeks ?

But one element appeals to us: the social network offers a Pro version, and therefore paid, for a slightly more thrilling experience. After creating an account, the free version is very limited and only allows you to see the profiles of our “friends”. Aspect Pro allows, for $9.99 per month, to share your entire private life on the social network, to see AI publications but also to receive DMs, comments and likes. In short, everything you want from a social network.

Good news: there is a 7-day free trial… What if Aspect simply wanted to capitalize on the race for likes established by social networks for years and titillate Internet users who feel alone… ;nbsp;?
