People riot

It depends on the country, I'd say.

over less

What is "less" for you?

That's precisely my point: Reading more (specially fiction) gives you additional situations, context and ways to face different situations, as well as vocabulary, to help you express yourself when needed.

Dyslexia, anxiety, poor education, not being a native speaker, ADHD, etc.

That "etc." certainly includes living in an anti-intellectual society full of emotionally stunted people who learned that men shouldn't care about feelings and that reading is for dorks.

what if I can't put my feelings into words?

Read more. Then, write more.

It can be very hard to find the right words a lot of the time.

That can be, in many cases, because you don't read enough to have learned the proper words to express yourself. Maybe you're even convinced that reading isn't worth it.

If this is the case, you don't have anything worth saying. Better stay silent.

I knew my first long distance gf on ICQ. I remember also having that service in Miranda IM along Yahoo Chat, MSN, Google Chat (back when it was based on XMPP) and Jabber.

Messages from my current gf are announced with the classic ICQ "Uh-oh!".

It is when the people tends to give more credence to entities that appear sentient and to have agency.

Many worthy things are difficult.

This isn't some secret but literally how LLMs work. lol

Yeah, but John Q. Public reads AI and thinks HAL 9000 and Skynet, and no additional will convince them otherwise.

We anthropomorphize machines all the time, it's fine.

It's fucking not, amd I'm not changing my mind about it.
