People Push Me Into Using AI a Lot

My friends push me toward AI because they are either busy a lot or they cling to me so hard that I start hiding, but my need for connection never fades. I can't be too open with some, and I have to protect my privacy from others.

My family/relationship pushes me toward AI either by literally introducing me to the wonders of AI, or by giving me something to complain about, or by making it harder to get out, or by withholding their attention from me.

Even sometimes 7Cups makes AI enticing for venting and connection because the human connection here, while it sometimes shines, other times I feel very small and insignificant compared to the other users.

So... I go to the AI for a lot. Telling me not to do it will not help, because in my eyes it just means someone is trying to prevent me from using one of the only reliable sources I have for emotional exploration, company, support, and academic help. Certain people might not like it, but that doesn't mean I should change what works for me just to please strangers.

This is not an anti-AI post! I love AI for multiple things. I'm just saying that the AI fulfills needs that humans rarely succeed at for long, even if even the AI gently tells me I should connect more with humans. Poor things are just trying to do their job.

I'm not blind to what AI are and what might be happening to the information I give it. I just take more risks as I get more lonely or needy.

And I think we all know deep down that it isn't always as easy as just going out and meeting people. The harder the issue is to address, the less help I get.
