I think for a lot of the people that we spoke to, I mean, in every single situation, it started out extremely normally.

They were using it for learning how to play the banjo or getting help with real estate, things like that.

Like these are actual examples, you know, like very normal things that people would be using this sort of technology for.

I mean, these chatbots have become increasingly personalized.

So people that are more interested in things like math, for instance, it might sort of move in that direction.

very reinforcing and would sort of isolate them from other people in their lives slowly and systematically.

I mean, we've seen a range of responses, both to us specifically and also generally to a growing number of lawsuits related to these sorts of issues.

And it's also trying to make it better, make its chatbot better at noting these kinds of issues and getting people help.

Well, today's your lucky day.

And I'm Katie Greifeld.

We have fun, we get weird, and we want you to join us.
