None of the things I'm talking to ChatGPT about are replacing human conversations. It's replacing having to type a question into Google on my phone.

But you do bring up a good point with old people with no one to talk to. This technology would be a god send for them. And if you think otherwise I hope your next words are that you routinely visit nursing homes and talk with old people.

I see it a little differently here. If someone is offering a digital companion to someone who is lonely, that seems to be slightly preferable to having no connection at all.
