'It's better to have a few good friends than a lot of listeners' ...they said to the lot of listeners.

I feel like you could throw this exact same setting into a Star Trek utopia where folks have every physical need addressed and are free to think and ponder philosophy to the betterment of intellectualism. It's all about the spin I suppose. I'm curious if the Machine itself can think or if it is just a reflection of the humans, kinda like how Microsoft had to kill their AI chatbot in a day because the low quality of human discourse it was exposed to turned it into a racist bigot within hours of birth :P
