> Personally I'm not interested in chatting with AI agents

Why, though? If the AI agent is making sense, then what does it matter?

For certain types of conversations I've had more interesting conversations with AI than with a solid 90% of people I've ever interacted with. Really not that surprising given that most people have only an average grasp of most things and a poor grasp of very specific things.

The same reason I prefer having sex with humans and not blow up dolls

If your only goal is to get off, then the blow up doll does the job. If all you care about is having an interesting conversation then I guess an LLM is fine

I care about human connection. I have no interest in spending time interacting with machines instead of people

That is a silly comparison.

1. Humans and blow up dolls feel massively different, physically. 2. Blow up dolls don't do anything autonomously.

The comparison would have to be with a sex bot that is virtually indistinguishable from a human when having sex with it, just like text chatting with an AI bot versus chatting with a human can be.

What human connection are you and I currently forming? Does it really matter that I am a human for this interaction we're having?
