People will prefer the bots that give them head pats and tell them they're so smart and that they love them

I don't necessarily think that is a stop-gap against people socializing more offline/being socially productive online.
Especially considering the fact that it seems more the case that the bigger stop-gap is what we already have:
In asian (especially Japan) it's host(ess) clubs.
Globally for friends it's influencers exploiting loneliness.
Those are things I think has to go for people to embrace offline socialization or using their online time better.
