Unless you had a really bad upbringing, "caring" about you is not simply not hurting you, not needing anything from you, or not leaving you

One of the important challenges of existence, IMHO, is the struggle to authentically connect to people... and to recover from rejection (from other peoples' rulers, which eventually shows you how to build your own ruler for yourself, since you are immeasurable!) Which LLM's can now undermine, apparently.

Similar to how gaming (which I happen to enjoy, btw... at a distance) hijacks your need for achievement/accomplishment.

But also similar to gaming which can work alongside actual real-life achievement, it can work OK as an adjunct/enhancement to existing sources of human authenticity.
