This is one of those rare stories that was exquisitely written and recommended to anyone who wants a bot companion, yet too unsettling to read again. Maybe becuz abusing a human like bot is almost as bad as against a living person or animal?
Somehow I feel a bit more normal for wanting (hot) women who can hold a logical conversation, speak up when they're upset and know how to live their own fully realized lives. Even if they prefer cats over me.
