UPDATE: Thanks for telling me to continue the discussion. I needed a break. On reddit, I got banned from r/singularity because of my reckless behavior of not reading the rules and spamming crossposts. That was a sign of desperation of me wanting to promote the AI companion subreddit so bad, and I thought it'd be better if I were to delete my account and remove myself from the face of the internet. I do intend to seek help; I have a therapist and I plan to revisit her again. I will not delete this community. I'll focus more on posting any reports and research on AI companionship rather than waiting for comments to come in. Thank you for your comments; they were very appreciated and I apologize for the commotion I caused

Social implications of ai companionship is a pretty large topic. Do you have some more precise takes on this to kick off the discussion? Do you have any research we can talk about and comment? What nuances are there to be discuss?

Aren't good or bad valid points?

Is this a disguise 24h advertising for your medium's articles?

So many questions regarding your post in the first place...

please keep the discussion going. It's still a new and growing area that needs to be talked about.

Why would low engagement cause you to delete something? This isn't costing you anything, you can literally leave it be and if it gets busy when the concept grows, so be it. If you delete it, it cannot expand.

If it's hurting your ego somehow I suggest working on that personally as there is no such thing as a successful fragile evangelist.
