That's never going to happen. Most people (maybe not you, you savant) need someone's physical presence to see them as a real person. The phrase "Out of sight, out of mind" did not become irrelevant just because I can email someone across the world.

I do, every day. I still don't have an emotional attachment to the people I'm video calling from across the world. The folks nearby? Yes.

For the older generation, maybe. For the generation that grew up with online friends who they rarely or never met physically, it's completely normal. Sadly we'll have to wait a while for that generation to reach management age.

In that case, I’ll just assume you’re a bot and simply parroting what you’ve been programmed to say.
