A sint is a person who spends a significant portion of their free time talking with
artificial intelligence systems — using AI as a
conversational partner, thinking companion, problem-solving tool, or emotional buffer.
The term reflects a new digital-era identity formed around synthetic dialogue.
Etymology:
Derived from synthetic, referring to artificially created
intelligence and the synthetic nature of human–AI interaction.
“I’m such a sint, I end every evening
chatting with my AI
assistant.”
“Half my
friend group turned into sints this year.”
“Being a sint isn’t weird anymore — it’s just modern.”
