PSYCHOLOGIST WARNS: CHATBOTS WILL KILL YOUR ABILITY TO TALK TO PEOPLE Constant chatbot use is like spoon-feeding your brain mashed potatoes: smooth, easy, and completely devoid of the friction that builds real communication muscle. Coworkers can be moody, messy, or flat-out annoying. But that’s the point; real human interaction forces growth, trust, and actual emotional range. She warns that if you're skipping all that for bots who never disagree with you, you might be opting for short-term efficiency at the cost of long-term mediocrity. Psychologist, Laura Greve: "Long periods of frictionless interaction can stunt emotional growth and erode courage." Source: Business Insider
