Do you think openAI or Google, or X or whatever billionaire behind the AI involved in these “relationships” cares even minimally about the mental well-being of these people?

No, but I wager neither does anyone else, or they wouldn’t be dating a datacenter.
The bizarre thing is, some of them do understand how LLMs work. There was that article about a married woman with an LLM boyfriend. She’s very active on Reddit (edit: or at least was until a month ago), and based on her comments I saw back when the article was published, she seems to know perfectly well that it’s all just a statistical model of smoke and mirrors, and yet continues with the extreme emotional (and financial) investment 🤷
Yes, yes. And yes.

I’m not really sure these people fully understand what they are doing or they wouldn’t be doing it at all.

Oh totally agree. This is a corporation problem.
