Honestly, it bugs me less. I think that interaction with people is important. But with animals and plants you are at least dealing with beings that have needs you have to care about to keep them healthy. With bots, there are no needs, just words.
Lol, in this comment chain, I, personally, shall judge all of the quality of human connection based on vibes.
Gamifying the needs depends on the intent. If you care about people wellbeing it's a force for good, if you seek to manipulate the people using advanced mechanisms it's evil.
Ultra popular romance book to balance needs of a woman is okay if the book was written by a human, and even that only as long as there is effort to connect outside of it. It's preferable to trash talk the husband behind his back over a glass of prosecco with 3 and exactly 3 friends.
Keep them coming, happy to answer. Just don't ask me for proofs, here I deal with vibes.
What about men, are they allowed to play single player video games with bots in it when they have an option to play with humans? ...or are we only judging women in here?
Men and women playing single player games only with bots is a different beast, because the primary intent isn't to seek connection and emotional support.
To judge men on a bad example one needn't go further than the word "waifu". That's bad.
Also, to flip the previous situation, men will never admit to reading such novels. Men cannot seek emotional support from other men, that's not how it works. So in the case of insufficient emotional support from wife men should "man up" and start drinking.
