Am I old fashioned for wanting to talk to real humans instead?

No. But when the options are either:

  • Shitty friends who have better things to do than hearing you vent,
  • Paying $400/hr to talk to a psychologist, or
  • A free AI that not only pays attention to you, but actually remembers what you told them last week,

it's quite understandable that some people choose the one that is a privacy nightmare but keeps them sane and away from some dark thoughts.

But I want to hear other people's vents...😥
