I am also just concerned that it's being used a substitute for human connection. With the way capitalism tends to isolate people and get them feeling all lonely. It's easy to see how someone could get drawn in and use an LLM as a replacement for a person to talk to.
There were outliners already who were happy with their waifus, marrying their body pillow - and so on.
AI just make it way easier to cut those pesky human connections that require actual effort.
I don't know that I'd call them happy. More like coping. A substitute will always be just that. I don't see it as their fault so much as the fault of capitalism. Most people replace human connection with materialism to some degree. Those people just take it to the extreme.
