Not so much on this forum, but definitely on other forums I forget this constantly. All this time I've been thinking I'm communicating with random text generators. |
Yeah I get that feeling when I read forum posts as well. Or when I'm playing online games. I don't think humans were ever meant to communicate in any way other than face-to-face, so it's hard for our minds to grasp that input comes from another person. After all, I'm the only person in my room right now
