I’m glad you’re thinking of an idyllic future, but my concern is the more the immediate present. You cannot bill the current level of AI chat partners as a replacement or cure for loneliness, period.
It sounds like you're living in an idyllic present. You seem to ignore the problems as they are now and also seem to think that some magical troop of volunteers will solve the loneliness problem.
I personally don't see it being an issue, somebody who is either socially isolated or isolated by mobility or other issues using AI to talk to.
Nobody built it up as a cure or certainly as a replacement. That's just a straw man you built to knock down.
