Just putting this out there. This seems like it's going to be a really serious issue sooner or later.
I'm sure many here are aware of the recent news of a teen who committed suicide ostensibly in relation to chatbot addiction.
With the type of on-demand, self-directed, and interactive media that's just around the corner, people are going to go straight off the deep end into their own worlds, fantasies, and fears. I think it would be helpful to have these conversations and start planning for how loved ones can break into these cycles before it's a reality.
