Sounds like you're using LLMs to replace human connection.

For example instead of: Duolingo - I practice with my friends Calorie tracking - I have planned meals from my dietitian Workout tracking - I have WhatsApp with my PT, who adjusts my next workouts from our conversations Reminders - A combo of Siri + Fantastical + My Wife

I'm sure my way is more expensive but I don't know, there is also a non tangible cost of not having friends/personal connections as well.

I may be missing your intent, but this feels like a misread of what I was describing.

I wasn’t swapping human connection for LLMs. These workflows already existed; I’ve simply used newer tools to make them better aligned to my needs and more cost-effective for me.
