Those too, I agree. But there’s something unique about being able to voice out your inner fears, insecurities and anxieties with a companion and have them listen. They don’t even need to solution anything with you, necessarily. A lot of people, not just men, are lacking that when they’re lonely.
I hate that someone like OpenAI or Musk or Amazon are going to capitalize on this space in the worst possible ways. We need more empathy driven technology development, kinda like an actionable Hippocratic Oath for software dev
