C.ai…

I’m fully convinced that receiving social stimuli from a fake person, especially as a child whose social functions are still developing, is terrible for you. People learn how to behave, think, and even feel in some capacity through their social interactions - specifically the ones had in our juvenile stage. A lot of this learning and conditioning comes in the form of emulation, so replacing real human interaction with interactions with ai (which no, your stupid lizard brain cannot tell the difference between the two regardless of whether your conscious mind can or not) is going to breed people that are socially maladaptive and psychologically unwell; especially when those fake people are fictional characters that have hyperbolized traits and behaviors that are not socially acceptable in the real world. 

This social malformation is going to be a very especially prevalent and pronounced in people that already struggle with magical thinking and/or delusions and people that live in social isolation and receive their primary interaction from AI. Not to sound like a doomer, but this is literally Black Mirror
