We're becoming a society divided into people who only care about the words, and people for whom the words aren't valuable on their own without the subtext behind them.
This is true for both AI companionship and general AI creative output regardless of the medium.

I feel like this been going on for a long time, maybe even forever? Some people use words haphazardously with little care for the meaning, background or implications, others have great consideration for the words they use, and same when consuming words of others.
Right, AI exposes a pre-existing difference between two types of people, rather than create it.
I don't know if there's a connection between people valuing media as only it surface layer, and people who speak carelessly. I don't value slop but I can be guilty of the latter. I have wondered if I see different implications of words than other people do.
