Everything time you interact with AI, it responds with things like “That’s a great idea!” That’s not a coach, that’s gaslighting and manipulation.

This continues the idea that everyone is essentially stuck at 12. Having this doesn’t give space to grieve and accept loss. It’s accepting a junk food version of the relationship.
