So many good lines and fresh insights here. When I think about someone turning to an AI for advice or in order to share an experience, I think about someone else missing the opportunity to give the advice or share their own experience. It's conforting to know there's other human beings giving a good thought on these issues, so thank you.

I stumbled unto this piece and I’m so glad I did. I have struggled to articulate my misgivings about AI companionship, especially to memory of my young students who seem so gung-ho about. Your article has really helped me with the language (and evidence) to have a more balanced discussion about this.
