Even if you do, it's hard to tell if it'll be legitimate human interaction or just someone using AI.

AI has infiltrated everything. There is a pen pal app that acts in a similar way to snail mail. You get a limited number of stamps and send letters to people that take the approximate time to reach the other user based on how far apart you are irl. A couple of years ago the app became infested with people using AI to write their letters.

People have become incredibly lazy in every regard. I'd rather be a recluse than bother trying to chat with a society that has to use AI to speak on their behalf.
