We're talking a lot about cognitive offloading, but GenZ is oftentimes doing *emotional offloading* to AI chatbots. Basically, they seem to often use the chatbot as a great filter for everything socially relational.

Seems more promising than "there was an em dash it must be fake!"
And yeah, I might not be able to remember every detail about the stuff I've written, owing to my moth-brained memory, but you risk me launching into a loving 6 hour presentation if you ask me questions about a scene or character.
