What's the difference?

That's not where my brain was going but I agree, even neurotypical people with enough spending money to care about other people's problems don't really want to hear about it, that's a good point too

While some individuals with developmental delay (AN INVISIBLE DISABILITY AND NOT AT ALL WHAT YOU'RE PICTURING) can improve their social skills by being social, for many, their disability (NOT WHAT YOU'RE PICTURING, STOP USING YOUR IMAGINATION), is something that they were born with, is permanent, and requires outside assistance. It is not helpful to tell people with no social circle, whether due to disability, poverty, depression, or something else, that they can magically be social or become social somehow without outside assistance. You may be capable of just being social and you probably have been since the day you were born. There are a myriad of reasons why someone wouldn't have a social circle, and many of those people cannot simply "be social." That isn't how it works.

I have been trying not to say the words disability or poverty or depression because I knew your brain would shut off and you'd focus only on your own imagination and not what I'm trying to say. You'd also probably imagine that I'm talking about a small population of people.

No, the individuals I am talking about almost universally require outside assistance to form a social circle, and many of them do use AI to socialize. Not because it helps them be better at socializing, but because being lonely is painful and talking to an AI is a substitute for what they actually need.

utilize the social circle they have

Some people do not have a social circle at all whatsoever.

it’s better to turn to people than ai.'

OK. It's better to eat salad than to eat a hamburger. Does saying this materially help people with food addictions or who live in food deserts? Does it help someone with no access to salad to tell him that it's better to eat salad?

I can only speak to personal experience, which is admittedly limited

Oh so it's to get around the censors, I see

Is AI good for anything other than boilerplate code though? I worry when people talk about databases.

Thanks, this is helpful for me

When they talk about "ai agents," are they referring to the so called autonomous bots, or bots that can enter your development environment? Like openclaw.

People vibe code their databases in commercial products?
