    Yeah, even if you're lonely, talking to a chatbot is not the same as talking to a friend. A friend will call me stupid if I'm being stupid or talk about their own interests or experiences that might not align with mine too. Chatbots just feel hollow and the praise it gives rings even less sincere because of it. Seeing it as a companion is a form of purposeful self isolation I don't understand.
