It’s not a person. You understand that, right? I have to ask considering the amount of people who are “dating” and wanting to marry chatbots.

It’s a tool. There’s no reason to anthropomorphise it.

I'm glad that you brought that up, because I actually hovered on my response precisely because of those words. Specifically, I wondered if I could reliably count on someone showing up to say something patronizing and unnecessary.

I regret that and apologise for it. It was not my intention but it was my mistake. I should’ve made it shorter:
