I love how you see this super introverted thing for super introverts and your advice is "maybe meet a human". Well, here's what this human has to say: Maybe you just aren't the target audience.

I didn’t see a super introverted thing for super introverts. I saw something that, from a place of very genuine personal belief, is at once useless, probably counterproductive to developing good writing, and possibly dangerous - particularly if, as some people have suggested, it’s about journaling and introspective practice. It just feels like a way to accelerate your way to a state of AI induced psychosis.

If you want to write, write.

If you want to write for an audience write and make your writing public.

If you want to write for an audience and get feedback, join a writing group - in person or virtual.

If you want to use AI to workshop ideas, craft characters or build frameworks to write around, do that.

But a cosy little claque of glad handing AI simps? Honestly, what’s the point?

Using AI for companionship is poison.

Absolutely. And as we are increasingly coming to realise, can actually cause dangerous delusional states.

I don't understand why you feel the need to judge it. If someone wants to use it, they should use it. Why do you need to understand their reasons, or why do they need to justify it to you?

It literally does not concern you at all what people choose to do privately. Why feel the need to get involved?

Gotcha, why?

So you didn’t “get him”?

I don't understand why this is important, I understand he likes the feedback, but it is artificial. It can help with brainstorming I guess, but I was hoping to hear more about his personal desires and what is lacking right now...
