Excellent reporting here from @benjedwards and @arstechnica! My personal reaction is "Huh, I am old now?" but this is really important stuff to be aware of.
@arstechnica lonely people are lonely. I bet some of these people converse with it because of social anxiety.
I remember decades ago I, and many others, used chatrooms to talk to complete strangers about our everyday problems.
I have no doubt that if I wasn't afforded that opportunity, I would not be here today.
The key here is having a HEALTHY relationship with AI. The movie "Her" depicted an obsessively lonely man that refused to accept the world around him, not healthy.
