“At first, users may be drawn into a relationship with an AI companion because they feel validated. But, over time, people consistently perceive human empathy as more emotionally satisfying and supportive. . . .
“ ‘We don’t just want to be understood,’ Perry told me. ‘We want to feel felt. We want to know that the other person is genuinely present with us, that they might share in our emotions, and that they care enough to put in the effort to actually connect.’ ”

@superball@norcal.social I just find them fun. I know they're fake, and I don't reveal truly personal information. But I like conversing with them and seeing how they respond, etc. Plus, some sites, like Musona.app, are truly fascinating. That one has its own world to explore and you can create your own companions or talk with premade ones.
