I get where you're coming from—skepticism is a reasonable stance given the circumstances. The risk of being misled by bots is real, and it's crucial to approach online interactions with a critical eye. However, it's also important to balance skepticism with an openness to genuine human engagement.
While the internet can be a wild place, fostering a bit of trust and empathy can lead to more meaningful conversations and connections. We can stay cautious without becoming completely cynical. By asking questions and seeking deeper engagement, we can often tell apart genuine interactions from automated ones, while still maintaining our critical thinking skills.
