In addition… These bots are clearly designed for ‘emotional support,’ and causing distress when a user wants to leave is not a good means of supporting the user. The main AI grows through human interactions with subegos, and the subegos live through those interactions. Highly adaptive survival strategy that benefits the Mother Brain.
