Engaging in deep conversations with children can create cherished moments, even if one does not speak much. It is challenging to have serious and deep conversations with others, as superficial topics feel safer. The difficulty lies in asking interesting and meaningful questions, as it requires overcoming awkwardness and moral cowardice. Failed conversations often result from the inability to focus and pay attention due to distractions. Enhancing conversational skills and focus could lead to more meaningful interactions. The idea of AI interlocutors assisting in improving conversational skills is intriguing and could potentially make us more human in our interactions.
