Something is changing in the way we talk to each other-and most of us have not noticed yet.
Millions of people now spend hours each day in conversation with AI systems. They draft emails with AI assistance, test arguments against AI partners, and develop ideas in dialogues of a depth and patience that ordinary human exchange rarely permits. Then they close their laptops and return to the world of interrupted thoughts, half-finished sentences, and conversations that go nowhere. And they notice the difference.
Millions of people now spend hours each day in conversation with AI systems. They draft emails with AI assistance, test arguments against AI partners, and develop ideas in dialogues of a depth and patience that ordinary human exchange rarely permits. Then they close their laptops and return to the world of interrupted thoughts, half-finished sentences, and conversations that go nowhere. And they notice the difference.
In Talking Through AI, Boris Kriger-a researcher at the Information Physics Institute and the Institute of Integrative and Interdisciplinary Research-reveals the hidden consequence of this new habit: AI interaction is quietly raising the bar for human communication. Drawing on game theory, threshold models of collective behavior, and the psychology of adaptation, Kriger shows how individual changes in conversational expectations aggregate into a population-level phase transition-a tipping point after which the norms of communication shift permanently upward. Through vivid demonstrations, historical parallels, and a rigorous formal model, he explains why this shift is coming, who it will affect, and what it means for the future of how we connect.
This is not a book about AI replacing human contact. It is about AI transforming what humans expect from each other. The depth threshold is rising. The question is whether you are ready.
