Michael Sayman, the creator of SocialAI, said it best on a recent episode of The Vergecast. "We used to talk _through_ the Internet. Now we talk _to_ the Internet."

The host was as taken by the sentiment as I was. It's so succinct.

I gotta say, the episode got me to try SocialAI — literally "what if twitter was just bots". And it's like yeah — this is what we've made. This is indistinguishable from modern twitter. It's a great place to talk into the void. The fact that we've made social media a pillar of modern society… idk. Hate it.
