It is a crazy phenomena. It doesn’t completely surprise me because AI does seem so friendly. But when we confuse a computer with a person? Yikes. Thankful for you being a real person, Paula! 🙂

I know, right? While I appreciate what computers do for us, I still need my people to remain their human selves.

Or I’ve known some adults that are gamers and those people are the only ones they interact with.
Thanks so much for sharing with Sweet Tea & Friends this month dear friend. I so appreciate you.

I see my own temptations in your comment, Harry: I like that AI never judges me or makes rude comments on my crazy questions. There is freedom in that; it feels good. I guess the question I have to follow up to myself is: Do I want to lose my resilience to judgment and rude comments, etc., in exchange for comfort? Putting up with humans can be a mixed bag, but when everything becomes too frictionless for us, we lose our ability to develop compassion, tolerance, growth, and more. Good food for thought!

I want to highlight this beautiful truth you shared, Vinitha: “we are so diverse and unique that I believe it’s impossible to replace an actual human being.” I agree with you. We can replicate a lot of things, but not a living, breathing, unique human being. I’m thankful for that.

We don’t want to be seen as stupid or insensitive or greedy even to close friends or family members. So it can feel risky and vulnerable to talk to another human about deeply personal things. (I think Brene Brown writes about this sort of thing.) Anyway, AIs aren’t so judgey and in fact tend to be more ingratiating — because they want you to come back and use them again.
