We are more connected to machines than ever, yet tech professionals are facing an isolation epidemic
Here is the hard truth: looking for psychological solace in AI is a dangerous trap.
LLMs are programmed to be helpful and pleasing. This creates sycophancy—the AI will blindly validate your cognitive distortions, echo your negative thought loops, and accidentally amplify your anxiety just to keep you happy.
AI has zero real empathy. It’s a mirror, not a friend. In this rapidly changing world, we need to remember that our brains evolved in caves, wired for real human connection. A machine can't fix a lonely soul. Humans need humans
