I'm very torn on this.

On one hand, I think that personalized OSS AIs are the future from a pure utility perspective, and it will inevitably be "more fun" for them to have personalities. I also think that if someone is deriving joy from something and not harming anyone else, who I am to judge them.

On the other, I've already found myself asking ChatGPT questions that I would have asked on a forum/discord or even a colleague, it already is removing human interactions from my life. The internet has become a dark showcase of what a lack of human interaction, especially with people of opposing ideas, can result in and this kind of tech will obviously exacerbate this.

Why the role playing? Isn't it easier to accept the chatbot for what it is? I broker the communication between my son and ChatGPT and they don't role-play anything - there's no imaginary friend dynamic going on. He just talks with the computer, because it knows stuff about things he's interested in.
