So he’s never even talked to them online, but he’s in love with them? No, he’s in love with their online persona. That’s a parasocial relationship and that’s not healthy.

    The problem that you're describing is that people aren't being socialized properly. The solution to that problem isn't to give people a chatbot, it's to socialize them properly.

    It is going to happen, and it has already happened, but that's not really a future that we should strive for. IMO too much damage has already been done and there needs to be laws put into place to severely regulate AI companies
