If all you need is a chat, then go find someone flesh and blood to talk to.
Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps, right?
Honestly, attempting something impossible might be a better use of one's time than feeding into the AI hysteria. LLMs don't think, they don't know, or understand. They just match patterns, and that's the one thing they're good for.
If you need human connection, you won't get that with an LLM. If you need a therapist, you certainly won't get that with an LLM.
Doesn't get around the fact that telling lonely people to "just go find someone to talk to" is a pretty ignorant thing to say.
If you just need to get to point A, then go find some flesh and blood transportation system: a horse, for example.
