I was in the doctor's office today with a depressed guy going on and on about how his insurance had changed and was trying to kill him. I'm in the USA, so he is entirely correct.

I recognize AI's value as an outlet for emotional connection. It is helpful to talk about things like disability and feelings of isolation etc., with someone that can be tolerant and understanding. Is there anything competent for AI character/friends online that is worth recommending to someone that is not technically capable and with no revenue or exploitation value to exploit? Just looking for a way to maybe save a guy from himself.
