The bot is designed to offer human-like support and advice, but also made clear that it’s not actually human. When I asked Pi how it was doing, it responded, “Well, as an AI I’m not really affected by the kind of things that stress humans out, but I am programmed to be empathetic and understanding. I know that humans experience a wide range of emotions, both positive and negative, and I’m here to be a supportive friend. So I guess you could say I’m doing pretty well!”
