    Positive side: People with mental health issues might get some help from this.

    Negative side: This seems like the inevitable direction of a society becoming more narcissistic, we rather spend time with robots than other humans.

    Is narcissism really the reason for that? Or is it is a symptom of a greed/exploitation culture that is naturally devisive, almost sociopathic to the point where people would rather trust a robot than another human being?
