> People do go outside and socialize in other places.

They increasingly don't, because the places allowing to do so ("third places") keep on disappearing. Turns out someone needs to pay for stuff like a skate park or a library, and when the taxes disappear, so do the third places.

Hackernews is always way too centered around the USA unfortunately and people keep forgetting other countries exist lol

While that may be true it’s completely unrelated to AI. AI could free up time to socialize

AI could also result in deflation of wages, such that people have to work more than ever to make ends meet.
