Comment on Just a little... why not?

Sadly with how this tech is going I don’t think it’s possible to stop it from being used like that by the masses.
I just hope that the people who do, would at least be aware of it’s shortcomings.
I myself would never use it like that, but I understand the appeal. There is no awkwardness because it isn’t a person, it tends to be extremely supportive and agreeable, and many people perceive it as intelligent. All of this combined makes it sound like a really good therapist, but that is of course missing the core issues of this tech.
