Why Don't We Talk to Humans Anymore?

In this episode of I Got Kuestions, Kadie asks the question we’re all quietly avoiding: are we actually talking to each other anymore, or just sitting near each other while staring at screens? It starts with something she noticed firsthand — a couple seated at a nearby table who went straight to their phones instead of each other. From there, Kadie digs into the small, everyday signs that human connection is slipping: the rise of the text breakup as a way to avoid a real conversation, the strange politeness we extend to AI (even when no one’s watching), and the more serious side of it — using AI for support in the moments when a real person isn’t available, especially late at night.

It’s an honest, funny, slightly self-implicating look at how we connect now versus how we used to — and whether that’s a loss, or just an evolution. Kadie keeps it light, keeps it real, and closes out with this week’s No Stupid Kuestions and the Kuestion of the Week: ”Are we drifting from each other, or just finding new ways to connect?”
