Really hard to say. I've avoid people IRL for extended periods of time for the past ~15 years but still retain a sense of theory of mind, boundaries, and appreciation for the differences in values, motivations, and beliefs. Productive socializing usually means navigating ambiguity, not imposing inflexible worldview bullshit.
I swear at Siri and tell Alexa to STFU, which works. AI agents aren't anywhere close to having egos, emotional memories, or agency.

Why not just imagine a better world for yourself?
