The narrative around people forming "relationships" with AI remind me of a Q&A I saw 25 yrs ago where someone asked Steve Albini if it was an adjustment to go from a drum machine (Big Black) to a human drummer (Shellac) and he said yeah the adjustment is I grew up and learned how to talk to people.
