As a best friend, you are completely impossible to replace with AI. Friendship is built on trust, shared memories and genuine presence over time, not on tasks a machine can perform. This is one of the most human roles there is.
Screen / desk work
Friendship is about genuine presence and shared experiences, not screen work. Even though you use phones and apps to keep in touch, the most important things happen in the real world. AI barely touches this role.
