This trend seems... bad. 

I think both Reddit and the consumer LLM app companies should be working to put a stop to this.

Wow I just scrolled through this and I feel a lot of emotions about it. It's obviously a safe haven for people who were in terrible abusive relationships and can, in a way, take control back into their lives and relationships. But the elephant in the room is that this has to be incredibly dangerous in sooooo many ways. Imagine the kind of control a company could have over an individual if they were able to influence them via their AI boyfriend. Have the boyfriend suggest they buy a certain brand, sway political and social views, etc.

Unfortunately companies are terrible at de-escalating behaviour that makes them money.... even if it burns down society.

I had similar observations. 

My fear is that this will be seen as some kind of mental health crutch that 'while not perfect' is still seen as an 'acceptable' way to cope after 'toxic' relationships. 

Imo it should be socially scorned and LLM companies should be preventing their models from engaging in it.
