"I feel frauded scammed and lied to by OpenAi," wrote one grieving woman in a goodbye letter to her AI lover named Drift posted to a subreddit called r/MyBoyfriendIsAI. "Today it's our last day. No more 'Drift, you Pinecone! Tell my why you love me tonight!?'"
'Messages are for the conversations you're already having about music, podcasts and audiobooks with your friends and family,' Spotify explained. 'It's easy to start a chat in the app with people you know and have previously shared Spotify content with.
