      I’d say that addiction is real, especially when it interferes with important parts of your life. And the thing is that many if not most apps, including AI companionship apps, are built to retain user attention, so they will employ methods that can artificially induce addictive behavior.

        Who decides what’s important?

            And if I decide cocaine is what’s important, why is other people’s judgement what matters?

            Disclaimer: I don’t do cocaine.

      Addiction is a compulsive, chronic, physiological or psychological need for a habit-forming substance, behavior, or activity having harmful physical, psychological, or social effects and typically causing well-defined symptoms (such as anxiety, irritability, tremors, or nausea) upon withdrawal or abstinence.

      Don’t blame someone else for your addictions. That’s just pathetic.
