    One of my closest friends uses it for everything and it’s becoming really hard to even have a normal conversation with them.

    I remember hearing that about silicon valley tech bros years ago. They’re so used to dealing with robots they kinda forget how to interact with humans. It’s so weird. Not even that they’re trying to be rude, but they’ve stopped using the communication skills that are necessary to have human to human interactions.

    Like people seem to forget how you treat a back and forth conversation with a person vs how you treat it with a robot ready to be at your command and tell you the information you want to hear when you pull your phone out.

    Then as long as you’re done hearing what you wanted, the whole conversation is done. No need to listen to anything else or think that maybe you misunderstood something or were misinformed bc you already did the research with AI.

    It’s so frustrating. This is a normally very smart and caring person I’ve known for a long time, but I feel like I’m losing a part of them and it’s being replaced with something that kinda disgusts me.

    Then when I try to bring it up they get so defensive about it and go on the attack. It’s really like dealing with somebody that has an addiction they can’t acknowledge.
