MODERATORS
Depending on who you are an AI chat might just be a less tedious journal which can obviously be better than not journaling, I still find it sorta weird too but the ridicule is unfounded imo.
From a privacy perspective it's likely terrible/ terrifying but given the majority of people are already transparent for the most part, they are at least taking some real world value for their increased transparency.
I imagine at least some of that ridicule stems from this being kind of the exact wrong answer to the big, societal "why is everyone so lonely now?" question.
It's a bit like watching a pack-a-day smoker buy lozenges for their throat or something, as if you're not supposed to think about the cancer.
