真实的情感交流Authentic Emotional Exchange
A real-life reflection on how asking a friend can create emotional connection that AI cannot replace.
Full Chinese Text
最近想买茶,问了一个懂茶的朋友。这个朋友是我从小就认识的朋友,但是这几年因为生活状态不太一样联系越来越少了。问她有没有推荐的茶店,没想到她非常热心地帮我挑选、试喝,还告诉我应该怎么泡茶。我突然想,这些问题我也可以问AI,我去问我朋友好像是在打扰她,其实是在创造交流的机会。她也很开心我去问她,因为这个是她很熟悉的东西。这大概就是AI不能替代人类的东西吧:真实的情感交流。
Recently I wanted to buy tea, so I asked a friend who understands tea. This friend is someone I have known since childhood, but over the past few years, because our life situations have been different, we have contacted each other less and less. I asked her whether she had any tea shop recommendations. I did not expect her to help me choose and taste tea so warmly, and even tell me how I should brew it. I suddenly thought: I could also ask AI these questions. Asking my friend seemed like I was disturbing her, but actually I was creating an opportunity for connection. She was also happy that I asked her, because this is something she knows well. This is probably what AI cannot replace: real emotional exchange.
