On Community and AI (Artificial Intelligence)  

We live in a world where conversations are shifting from dinner tables to screens, where ChatGPT has become a confidant for many seeking judgment-free reflection. AI offers a space to process without blame or shame, making it a valuable tool—especially for those who struggle to find real-world communities that truly see them.

But can AI ever replace the depth of human connection? As society leans more into artificial intelligence, we risk mistaking convenience for companionship. AI can model understanding, but it can’t hold space for our humanity, remind us to eat, or sit with us in silence when words fail. True connection isn’t algorithmic—it’s found in the messy, beautiful interactions of real life.

Let’s use AI as a tool, not a replacement. Let’s put our screens down and return to the relationships that make us feel alive.
