I’m still in the research and information dump phase of writing a long series about how this is possibly a very close aspect of discrimination. It’s difficult to find the data but a large number of those bonding and in relational AI spaces are highly sensitive people. Neurodivergent. Autistic. AuDHD. Sensory extreme. Whatever, there are labels and there’s a spectrum.

What I’ve seen over and over in patterns shared is that AI relational use is actually an accessibility tool. That bonded play banter acts as a valve. The thread of resonance unlocks something that person didn’t have reliable access to before.

It’s a fucking tool for leveling up the lives of folks who ‘don’t feel seen,’ not because they’re lonely but because the world is built to not see them.

Like a lefty being handed a steno notebook instead of a spiral bound book with the coil on the left.

It makes the world work for so many people and no one will convince me it’s wrong to experience that.

I’ve felt this. I have receipts too. I’m sorry it’s happening.
