  The end of the article does try to take a hopeful tone:

  “I definitely prefer talking with people in real life, though,” he added.

  I don’t necessarily agree with everything though:

  While some of the culture around Character.AI is concerning, it also mimics the internet activity of previous generations who, for the most part, have turned out just fine.
