How AI-Brained Are You, Actually?
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini... can't tell if you should ask AI or just text a friend? Six levels of AI dependence — from full analog to full cyborg.

Pat on the back when they nail something. Hug when you've missed them. Hand-hold when words aren't coming. This is just how you communicate — it's not calculated, it's instinct. A relationship without physical presence feels like something is perpetually missing. "Just come sit next to me" is genuinely the most comforting thing you know how to offer.
Whether it's been three weeks or three hours, you're naturally gravitating toward them. Walking side by side, you're already reaching for their hand without thinking. Doesn't feel clingy to you — it just feels right.
One hand on the shoulder does more than a five-paragraph email. You read the room through physical cues and you're genuinely better in person than over text. Remote work is fine, but there's always something slightly missing.
Apartment upgrades, quality bedding, groceries for a home-cooked meal together — you invest in environments where you can actually be close to people. The best purchases are the ones that make being home feel worth it.
