I'm not sure that these services are healthy for the human using them. It also bring huge privacy violation because the comapny proxing these Agent to Gemini API or ClosedAI API could use them against you, especially if you are vulnerable. Targeted ad campaign are more than just ads. It's leveraging your vulnerabilities at the right time.

I am not an AI hater by any mean but a chatbot is not meant for emotional support regardless on how good the LLM model powering it is.
