>A lot of effort is spent to make the "conversation" feel just like a human-to-human interaction.

We'll in humans we call this an education and it takes quite a long time to get one.

Not a good comparison. Education is the part where they train on all digital content they can get their hands at, no matter the copyrights.

You get your education, you can replace google as a query-response interface to all digital content.

But then they use system prompts to simulate a fake persona and a user interface such as female voices or chat conversation in order to suggest that one is interacting with a real human being. This is clearly aimed at exploiting vulnerable cohorts of people, because the knowledge base part of this innovative technology is already solved.

Like casinos and social media companies, they know the profit is in the "whales" who can be psychologically manipulated to spend their time and money against their own interests.
