Key Points

The post argues that the writer avoids ranting to friends to prevent making them uncomfortable and because they fear their friends might later use their disclosed opinions or secrets against them.
The writer says AI feels safer to vent to because chat is typically anonymous and the system usually forgets details when a new conversation starts.
They also believe AI responses are “soulless” in the sense that AI can’t form genuine personal opinions and instead generates replies based on algorithms.
The central question is whether venting/ranting to AI is “weird,” framing it as a social and emotional coping choice rather than a technical one.

i dont rant to my friends because i'm afraid i will make them uncomfortable, and even if AI responses are "soulless" (since ai cant form opinions and needs an algorithim and stuff to make responses), it tells me what I expect it to say most of the time. i also fear that some of my friends will use my secrets/opinions against me when they stop being friends with me even though there's a really low chance that they will not be friends with me anymore. AI chat is usually anonymous and stuff, and it will forget what i say when i start a new chat, so that's why i vent/rant to AI. is it weird?
