I disagree with you about AI. It is clear that human interaction has no comparison than interacting with AI. But
I've been getting deeper and deeper into AI bots and agent creation during these past weeks and although I can understand your point of not having any interest in having a conversation with a chat bot as I had the same thinking a few weeks ago, I see it quite differently now for several reasons.

First I can have a 'private' conversation if dealing with AI in my computer instead of using one on the cloud controlled by a company. You can do that quite easily lately and avoid 'giving' all your inputs and feedback to one of the big tech companies. Second I prefer to learn and understand the technology to decide if and how to use it instead of ignoring it. Third, the amount of 'sinthetic' knowledge it has is huge compared to any human and it is not so much biassed if you deal with your own instance in your computer. And fourth it improves in time as it recalls all the interactions you have with it using all your 'personal' interaction.

True it is not a real human conversation, I do not see it as that, But to help you understand some real life infos or things you are dealing with, it is a good resource, and learning how to deal with it is important as quite soon we will be 'forced' to do so when interacting with many companies and services on our daily life.

Just as an example, Google search already gives you its AI Gemini response as the first result when doing any search request.
