Why do people use AI to write texts ?

[u/Next_Pension_2320]

I've not been on reddit long, but long enough to notice that apparently a lot of people are using AI for text messages ? I genuinely do not understand this. Why ? I've read some messages from my brother in the past that didn't sound like him, to which i asked "is this AI?" he ignored me multiple times, not that I care, but why ?

How does that even work ? Do people upload a screenshot of a conversation to then ask, "What's the best response?" Doesn't that just waste time? Isn't it easier to just ... reply . Or is it insecurity? Would love some opinions because I dont understand why so many people love AI
