Why are online social interactions so important? We have grown accustomed to them, but seeing them as a replacement for in person interactions seems like a poor substitute to me. I agree that AI should be made better and more accurate and less used as a marketing tool. But should we not use this as an opportunity to seek out genuine human connections?

Online spaces/interactions are mostly important in that they provide some kind of place to inhabit where the physical ones fall short. You are right that they should not replace the physical, which is why it is important we prioritize real life third places especially as the digital alternative becomes more unusable.
