Loneliness and/or a need for validation drives people to crazy things. From joining cults and extremist groups without a pre-existing history of relevant prejudices or preconceptions, to enduring abusive social circles. To, now, falling in love with chatbots.

And boy oh boy don’t we have a loneliness for days! I’d say we even have sort of epidemic going on ;) Empty interactions and screaming just for echo to come back.

The vast majority of conversations I have with people on a daily basis are on an order of magnitude more moronic than the ones I have with AI. So that also plays a part.
