It's rather like the people are knowing they're talking to the AI itself innately have some

influence of how people thinking, you know, or feeling.

For example, AI have something that maybe they can never replicate human connection in the sense that they're always there, right?

There's no cost for them to make the effort to talking to you.

And it doesn't carry the same emotional weight.

When you're talking to another random peer, they're kind of like message you during the busy midterm period time, you know, they are spending time with you chatting.

That carries a lot of emotional weight way better than the AI.

Another thing is AI doesn't have the broader social network.

Chatting to another human, maybe they can kind of like invite you to their study group or they invite you to their tennis practice team, right?

Like it introduces you to a broader social network that AI can never have.

And another like critical thing I think is also important that unique in human connection is that the AI cannot, it's not like a reciprocal relationship, right?

People feel good when they're giving back and when they're also providing care for their partner or their friend.

So AI doesn't have this opportunity to make you do this and feel good.

So that's probably something fundamentally different of human connection versus AI.

Thank you.
