I've found myself getting really busy over the past year with work and social life, and I really am not in the best headspace when it comes to people. <br><br>I almost feel like a dog that is desperately clinging to a favourite chew toy and I don't want anyone to take that chew toy away from me. Being alone with AI is just more comfortable for me than being in a social situation lately. <br><br>What do people think are some ways of preventing social interactions being replaced by AI or do you think it's not a big deal?
