Reposted by RebeccaLinda Holmes @lindaholmes.bsky.social · 03/08/2025I think the use of chatbots for stuff like this is intended to train people to use it to avoid everything that’s painful or hard. It can write the obituary, the breakup text, the complaint letter. It’s meant to separate humans from their difficult feelings. Seems bad. 631865491
