Problem with this imo is that AI companion will never tell you that what you are doing/thinking is not acceptable in a society, like how your friend or any other person you interact with would, because with real relationship it’s a two way street.

This may create a bunch of people who are even more distant from the social interaction than they were in a beginning

AI mostly does whatever you ask it to. You can easily make a chatbot that will question your choices or act like a hater on twitter.
I agree. Good human friends should provide a mix of a positive/feedback negative loop, providing a good gradient to train one's behavior on.

AI seems like just a positive feedback loop.

If this is what you're seeking though, you can ask it to do this, to challenge your views and question your assumptions.
You clearly have never used any of the big censored llms.
