alt Hacker NewsI understand the parasocial bit. I actively dislike the idea of gooning, ERP and AI therapists/companions, but I still notice I'm lonelier and more distant on the days when I'm mostly writing/editing content rather than chatting with my agents to build something. It feels enough like interacting with a human to keep me grounded in a strange way.

What's funny is I feel compelled to say "please" and "thank you." Like even at the point where I say it, something will say in my head, "You don't have to say that," but I do it anyway because it feels wrong not to.
You guys need to touch grass. Go join a kickball league or something.
