Missed Connections
Briefly

The article discusses the profound sense of connection and validation one feels when finding answers to personal problems on the internet, especially through forums and blogs. It highlights a nostalgic comparison between past human interactions online that fostered community and understanding, and the present experience where AI responses lack personal touch. The author reflects on how these AI-generated responses eliminate the depth of connection that once existed, making each prompt feel like a lost opportunity for meaningful engagement.
You have a problem. You bang your head on it for a while. Through the banging, you formulate a string of keywords describing the problem.
You know they have an answer to your problem. They've seen what you're seeing.
Today you have a problem. You bang your head on it. You ask a question in a prompt. And you get back something.
Just a machine which takes human voices and de-personalizes them until the individual point of view is annihilated.
