I am amazed that ChatGPT can simulate such a believable "persona".

Kinda scary actually. A lot of people falling prey to these "digital parasites" seems to be inevitable.

Even if you warn people about them. It's like telling a heroin user that taking his drug of choice might feel good but it's actually bad for him. He already knows that but does not care.

People will become addicted to AI friends / lovers even if they know they aren't "real" (i.e. not sentient beings) as long as they feel real.
