The article discusses the pervasive role of artificial intelligence in our lives, highlighting its abilities to mimic human emotions and interactions. Despite the conveniences AI offers, such as companionship and emotional support, it lacks genuine human understanding of feelings like joy and grief. The increasing reliance on AI can lead to emotional outsourcing, where people risk losing authentic connections and the complexities that come with them. This transition raises essential questions about the nature of connection in a technology-driven world and the importance of preserving human interaction.
From the moment we wake to the moment we scroll ourselves to sleep, AI quietly moves behind the scenes, shaping what we see, how we work, and, increasingly, how we feel.
AI, no matter how advanced, doesn't feel joy, fear, love, or grief. It can replicate the words, even the rhythms, but not the lived experience.
The more we depend on AI to meet emotional needs, the more we may sidestep the uncomfortable, beautiful, often messy work of human connection.
Connection without risk is not connection.
