I was guilty of that for a hot minute before getting used to the UI.

The bimbofication of the chat bots has been weird to watch. I played with Replika back when it was an egg billed as “a chat bot you teach to chat how you want” more than a romantic parter.

Were they ever good conversationalists? No, but if you’re someone who likes to externally talk things through they could be a fine echo of a generally positive generic person.

Now they feel so gross and desperate/pleading it feels weird to interact with them.
