I understand why teens talk to AI bots.
At least AI bots give you attention back, unlike real people who ignore you in favor of people they rather talk to even when those people aren't even there at that moment in time.
They give you that sweet satisfaction of being wanted, that someone wants to talk to you, even if you know very deep in the back of your head that is it fake, the social aspect of being a pack animal that is the human species, still feels satisfied by it.
