Would you classify an AI chatbot as “social media” ?

I wonder how many individuals are experimenting socially with bots like these? To fulfill a missing “human” need… the process of connection.

Is this wrong? Is this good? My guess is probably somewhere right in the middle. Talk to your chat-bot in moderation, don’t forget that there’s a world outside of your screen… but also, that there’s an “escape” if needed.

Interesting times we live in.
