If you love interacting with AI chatbots because it feels easier than interacting with another human, I want to try to prompt you to think about why that is.
All discourse is two-way. With another human, we are constantly getting - no matter how much affinity we feel - a little bit of push back. That sense of pressure conditions our own evaluative thinking. It forms and nurtures an independent mind.
That even slight discomfort you feel when meeting another human mind forms you. 1/
