Because the last thing a lonely elderly person needs at the life's sunset is a soulless clanker around.

I'd actually prefer to hold the hand of an LLMbot while going into the ether.

"ChatGPT, I think I'm dying"

"I hear you, and that takes real courage to say — and it's a load bearing seam that I want to dive into. Let's break this down into a few key areas...

Is there anything else I can help you with?"

I've already flatlined by that point, though.

Just because a robot is taking care of the chores does not mean that they have no relatives that visit them.

And if they truly have no relatives that visit, then a clanker is better than some low-paid disgruntled employee in an assisted living facility.
