7 reasons why an LLM can be better than “friends”:
1. 24/7 availability
It does not sleep, it is not busy, and it never says “later.”
2. Patience and zero irritation
You can ask the same thing 10 times without awkwardness.
3. Broad knowledge
Quick overviews across many topics: from quantum computing to hummus recipes.
4. No social pressure
No judgment for a “stupid question,” you can think out loud.
5. Speed
Book summaries, project ideas, code review, in minutes.
6. Relatively objective feedback
No personal resentment, jealousy, or hidden motives.
7. Help with thinking
Brainstorming, structuring ideas, planning, like an external “second brain.”
