The Lonely Hearts Club and A.I.

Solution or Hinderance

By: Cristina Carballo-Perelman MD

As artificial intelligence has become deeply embedded in our daily lives, and many of us are quietly changing the way we connect—with each other and with ourselves. We may not even notice it happening. We still chat with coworkers, reply to texts, and join group chats. But bit by bit, we’re outsourcing pieces of our emotional world to digital tools. We’re replacing unpredictable human interaction with streamlined, algorithmically managed substitutes. And we’re not doing it maliciously; we’re doing it because it’s easy. Because it works. Because, in the moment, it feels like enough.
But over time, it’s not enough.
In a world where technology can mimic empathy, it’s getting harder to tell when we’re truly being seen—and when we’re just being processed.
This book is about that feeling. That ache. That growing space between us and something we can’t quite name—but desperately miss.
This book will help you navigate the world of AI and choose where you want it to help you and when enough is enough.
You don’t have to throw away your devices. You don’t have to move to a cabin in the woods. You just have to start asking better questions. You have to start noticing what nourishes you and what quietly drains you.
This book offers that space. That mirror. That path forward.
You’re not broken for feeling lonely.
You’re just human. And that’s a good thing.
