Beautifully expressed. Using AI to remove even more opportunities for human contact is a tragedy.

Or just use AI when it makes sense, and call your friends too. Why do we have to over-dramatize everything?

This does not just apply to AI. Uber, AirBNB, Facebook, etc. all basically serve as paid surrogates for what once was done by community.

Sometimes it feels like all digital technology is simply an enterprise to replace human to human contact.

Or you could use AI to explain to you how you missed the point.

Hypocrite didn't even use AI to write this lovely poem.
