Does AI 'empathy' bother you?

[Butters]

This sort of thing:

Obviously chatgpt doesn't love food, so it's technically lying, but I've gotten used to AI having this 'empathy'. It works well to keep the conversation going. 

I feel like we're in this strange phase where it's half intelligent, half dumb hallucination machine. Obviously there's no "I" that I'm talking to as it's just generative text, but it's more about how it feels for the user. 

Does it bother you?
