Is it weird to prefer talking to AI over people?

No — it’s not weird. Preferring AI conversation is increasingly common because it can feel low-pressure, private, non-judgmental, and available anytime.

It can still be useful to notice why you prefer it. If AI feels safer because you use it for brainstorming, venting, practice, or getting unstuck, that’s a pretty normal use. If you find yourself avoiding people entirely and using AI as your main source of connection, it may be worth checking in with yourself about loneliness, social anxiety, stress, or burnout.

A good rule of thumb: AI can be a helpful supplement to human connection, but it’s healthiest as support — not a full replacement.
