I find this bleak in ways it’s hard to even convey

Am I old fashioned for wanting to talk to real humans instead?

No. But when the options are either:

Shitty friends who have better things to do than hearing you vent,
Paying $400/hr to talk to a psychologist, or
A free AI that not only pays attention to you, but actually remembers what you told them last week,

it's quite understandable that some people choose the one that is a privacy nightmare but keeps them sane and away from some dark thoughts.

I listen to vents, it's just I don't havd opinions after that are useful.

I do get a bit of ringing in my ear after a while though.
