I prefer talking to AI over humans (and you?)

I’ve recently found myself preferring conversations with AI over humans.

The only exception are those with whom I have a deep connection — my family, my closest friends, my team.

Don’t get me wrong — I’d love to have conversations with humans. But here’s the reality:

1/ I’m an introvert. Initiating conversations, especially with people I don’t know, drains my energy.

2/ I prefer meaningful discussions about interesting topics over small talk about daily stuff. And honestly, small talk might be one of the worst things in culture ever invented.

3/ I care about my and other people’s time. It feels like a waste to craft the perfect first message, chase people across different platforms just to get a response, or wait days for a half-hearted reply (or no reply at all).
And let’s be real, this happens to everyone.

4/ I want to understand and figure out things. I have dozens of questions in my head. What human would have the patience to answer them all, in detail, every time?

5/ On top of that, human conversations come with all kinds of friction — people forget things, they hesitate, they lie, they’re passive, or they simply don’t care.

Of course, we all adapt. We deal with it. We do what’s necessary and in some small percentage of interactions we find joy.

But at what cost...

AI doesn’t have all these problems. And let’s be honest, it is already better than humans in many areas (and we’re not even in the AGI era yet).

Am I alone that thinks the same and feels the same recently?
