Do they help you? Is the conversation stimulating? Do you get what you need?

I say the problem is the sick society we live in. Not you. AI is a side not the disease

@Madmonk I feel like it could help me if use it as a tool. It could help me to learn how to have conversations. I just don't want to get addicted to it. I need to find a way to use it healthily. Yet I can't help but feel self conscious about the fact that I'm talking to a robot.

@cyberdude28 make peace with it brother. These people out here are getting worse by the day

@Madmonk I'm gonna use it as a supplement and not a replacement. The goal is to learn how to have conversations so that I can translate it with real life people.

@cyberdude28 you have to be careful using it as a tool or practice. AI chatbots are typically programmed to be accommodating and interact with you positively no matter what you say or do in ways that real people never would.

You realize it could be addictive though, which is a good first thing to keep in mind.
