  Speaker 1: Need to know the weather or send a quick email?
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: You probably have a virtual assistant like Siri or Alexa
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: ready to do just that. Chatbots have replaced a lot

  Speaker 1: reliance on AI-driven communication tools, while convenient, leads to less
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: face-to-face interactions, which potentially contribute to our growing sense of isolation.

• 2:12
  Speaker 1: sense of inadequacy. Comparison is the thief of joy, they say.
