Gravity isn’t a force?

My coworker told me gravity isn’t a force it’s an effect mass has on space time, like falling into a hole or something. We’re not physicists, I don’t understand.

A ripple in a pond isn’t a force. It’s a wave and water is its medium.

Gravity also isn’t a force. It’s more like the wave in the pond. But instead of water it’s space-time that’s the medium.

Objects with high mass warp space-time similarly to how a boat might warp the surface of a lake as it moves through it.
