????近日，一款醫(yī)療健身應(yīng)用向用戶承諾，可以分辨哪些人才是值得深交的朋友，并據(jù)此安排你的社交活動(dòng)。

????這款名為Pplkpr的應(yīng)用與一塊可測量用戶心率的智能手表連接，以判斷你在和其他人打交道時(shí)有什么樣的情感反應(yīng)。通過結(jié)合使用者手動(dòng)錄入的情感反應(yīng)和人際往來信息，該應(yīng)用告訴你各類朋友可不可交。

????對(duì)讓你有負(fù)面情感反應(yīng)的聯(lián)系人，該應(yīng)用會(huì)自動(dòng)屏蔽，同時(shí)會(huì)自動(dòng)為你安排社交活動(dòng)，與那些會(huì)讓你產(chǎn)生正面反應(yīng)的聯(lián)系人往來。

????聽起來是不是匪夷所思？那就是它存在的意義。

????該應(yīng)用的發(fā)明者勞倫·麥卡錫和凱爾·麥克唐納都是藝術(shù)家。他們希望“探究數(shù)據(jù)量化的生活對(duì)人際關(guān)系有何影響?！倍嗽诠餐闪⒌木W(wǎng)站上寫道，他們“試圖通過這種應(yīng)用促使人們認(rèn)真思考這種未來前景，希望看到大家對(duì)想要或不想要的功能暢所欲言”。

????以上只是麥卡錫和麥克唐納的意圖，但不是所有用戶都只是把它當(dāng)成一次思維實(shí)驗(yàn)。據(jù)美國財(cái)經(jīng)新聞?lì)l道CNBC報(bào)道，該應(yīng)用的下載量超過了7萬次。在App Store，用戶紛紛給予它真誠的評(píng)價(jià)。實(shí)際上，多數(shù)人提到的一種意見是，這款應(yīng)用不能對(duì)那些不在Facebook聯(lián)系表上的朋友做自動(dòng)分析。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

????A health and fitness app promises to tell users which friends are worth keeping, scheduling their social calendars accordingly.

????The app, called Pplkpr, connects to a smartwatch to measure users’ heart rates to determine their emotional response to people they’re interacting with. Combined with manually-entered emotional responses and information about the user’s comings and goings, the app can tell the user the general utility of his or her friends.

????Those contacts who make the user feel negatively will be automatically blocked, while the app automatically schedules social engagements with positive influencers.

????Sound scary? That’s the point.

????The app’s creators, Lauren McCarthy and Kyle McDonald, are artists who want to “explore the implications of quantified living for relationships.” McCarthy and McDonald wrote on their website that they “hope that seeing and trying the app will enable people to think critically about this future and speak out about what we do and don’t want to manifest.”

????But despite McCarthy and McDonald’s intentions, the app might not just be a thought experiment for everyone. It’s been downloaded more than 70,000 times, according to CNBC, and the reviews in the App Store are sincere. In fact, one of the most common complaints is that users’ friends who aren’t on Facebook can’t be auto-analyzed.
