  • If it makes you feel better, I think it’s a completely normal reaction to your situation. When I became bedridden and was mostly abandoned by family and friends. I often used LLMs for discussions. Though I didn’t use the sort of character ai thing, just a plain old LLM without a personality, but it kept me intellectually engaged when I had no one to share my ideas with, emotionally resilient when I didn’t have friends or family to vent to or support me.

    I really don’t think you should care if people who haven’t been through the kind of immense suffering it takes to lose the functioning of your body and be abandoned by the people you love, think it is normal or not.

    Fun fact: Grizzlies and Polar Bears are the same species according to the Biological Species Concept.

    Meaning they interbreed in the wild (somewhat rare), and produce viable offspring that can have babies as well.

    We’re actually noticing this happening more and more with climate change. As Grizzly populations move further and further north, they’re encountering polar bears more often and are more likely to mate. Some scientists actually think within the next couple centuries due to arctic sea ice pretty much disappearing polar bears will either go extinct, or interbreed with grizzlies so much that there isn’t a “pure” polar bear left. Most likely a mix of both.
