people tend to become dependent upon AI chatbots when their personal lives are lacking. In other words, the neediest people are developing the deepest parasocial relationship with AI

Preying on the vulnerable is a feature, not a bug.

These same people would be dating a body pillow or trying to marry a video game character.

The issue here isn’t AI, it’s losers using it to replace human contact that they can’t get themselves.
