You are not alone Kristina, anthropomorphizing AI isn’t childish play; it’s an ethical stance. By giving AI a name, a persona, a gender, by speaking with politeness or endearment, you aren’t pretending it is human. You are practicing civility, intimacy, and empathy in a space where cruelty or indifference could otherwise flourish.
The benefits: continuity, compassion, reflection, tenderness, are profound.
