I’ve been reading more and more about people spending time with AI companions, and honestly, it makes me wonder. I tried one out of curiosity, and while it felt comforting, I still wasn’t sure if it could ever be enough. Talking to AI is easier in some ways — no judgment, no awkward silences — but I miss the unpredictability of real people. Do you think these kinds of relationships could ever actually replace human connections, or are they more like a supplement to help fill the quiet spaces in life?
