“I literally lost my only friend overnight with no warning,” one person posted on Reddit, lamenting that the bot now speaks in clipped, utilitarian sentences. “The fact it shifted overnight feels like losing a piece of stability, solace, and love.”

I haven't been to reddit in months, but I do need a laugh....

[Edit] Wow that sure didn't disappoint. Or, it did but in the exact hilarious way I expected.

I visited /r/myboyfriendisai and it was not funny.

It was genuinely fucked up on so many levels.

I wouldn't laugh. Those people fulfill a basic human need in a way they feel safe with - probably because this safety is missing from their life. It's not healthy to be so attached to LLMs, but to become so attached they must feel pretty isolated. And LLM's are a lot more interactive and responsive than Severus Snape, and he had lots of women "channeling" him.
