author: meng chenthe craziest ai social app became popular just 3 days after it was launched on the apple store:according to the trial experience shared by netizens, it can make you the protagonist of the world. you will be given millions of fans after registration, but none of them are real people. any post you make will be replied and liked by a large number of robots.although they are all fake, many people said they were "very addicted" after playing them.the author published the backend registration statistics, and the upward curve is steep, so he may consider adding invitation restrictions.for example, one netizen posted, “i want to quit my job and open an alpaca farm.”there will be encouragement in the comment section such as "go after your dreams, alpacas are the future of sustainable agriculture", but there will also be trolls who will question you "have you considered the economic feasibility?"he said that playing the game makes people crave the feeling of instant attention and feedback, and the total experience is like:a personal advisory board of counselors, psychologists, and cheerleaders in your pocket.most people don’t get this experience on (traditional) social media, they’re screaming into the void and no one cares.
the name of this app is socialai. it has just been launched on the apple store and can also be downloaded in the chinese region.the author calls it “a tool for therapy, journaling, or just feeling heard.”in this regard, some netizens commented that it is "dopamine as a service."some people also issued warnings, saying not to download it because it is really addictive.ai social insanity becomes incomprehensible
simply log in to socialai with your apple account and you can immediately customize the type of followers.if you want to experience the "kua kua group", you can choose "supporter", "fan", "optimist", "cheerleader", etc.if you want to have a private advisory group, you can choose "thinker", "idea king", "visionary", and "high iq".if you want to be funny, you can also choose "troll", "sprayer", "fun person", "skeptic"...if you post in chinese, the ai will most likely reply in english by default, but you can use your personal profile as a prompt to ask the ai to answer in chinese.we chose several types of followers in a balanced way and shared the joy of completing a game. soon, a large number of replies came out to show support.however, there are also reflections from time to time, "is this really worth it?"if you are not satisfied with the type of followers, you can also temporarily change "who to see" when posting. the operation is very similar to the wechat moments grouping.more netizens started downloading and trying it out, and they had a lot of fun.for example, some people deliberately say sarcastic things to stir up trouble, waiting for ai to refute them.there are also those who raise the philosophical issues of agi and try to discuss them with ai.as the number of global players gradually increased, the author also updated the support for 50 languages and began to think about whether he could enter the market of the language learning app duolingo.joined facebook at the age of 17 and raised $3 million in venture capital
founder michael sayman joined facebook at the age of 17 and later worked as a product designer at google, roblox, and twitter.in 2022, after musk acquired twitter, he was dissatisfied with the slower pace of internal product development and chose to leave to start a business, founding friendly apps.without a product, sayman spent a week raising $3 million in seed funding from investors including the founder of product hunt.at that time, he believed that many social apps focused on retention rate, and the functions designed based on this would gradually deteriorate users' mental health.as time goes on, as people know less and less about each other, today’s social apps don’t help, they only isolate us further.
socialai is the third product he has launched. he has previously developed ai music rankings and ai matching dating applications.sayman claims he designed the app to help people "feel heard, providing space for reflection, support and feedback" like a "close-knit community."currently, socialai can be downloaded for free and there is no recharge krypton gold element. sayman said that he does not plan to raise more funds until the right pmf (product market fit) is found.netizens have different opinions on socialai's vision of helping users with mental health.some people believe that here "everyone is being trained to be a narcissist in real time."there are also people who needed help and were actually cured, and they thought it was better than seeing a psychologist or communicating with friends in real life.some people simply treat it as an exercise before posting for real.
