My dad, who's stuck in a wheelchair and tends to have a bit of a temper, is feeling quite lonely these days. I set up a blog for him to connect with others, but unfortunately, he's not getting any comments from family, which isn't a surprise given his temperament. I have control over the blog and made him an author so he can't alter the privacy settings. I'm thinking about programming some bots that could leave encouraging comments on his posts, nudge him to do his physical therapy, and even pose some introspective questions inspired by the philosophies he likes. I'm aware that I could use Make to help craft AI prompts to generate comments under fake accounts, but I'm looking for a more structured plan or maybe even different tools that would let me create chatbots tailored to interact with him in specific ways. Any suggestions?

Honestly, creating bot friends to simulate interaction seems a bit unethical. It feels like you're manipulating him without his understanding. Maybe consider finding some actual people who could interact with him instead?
There are some cool AI apps out there that can simulate social interaction without anyone needing to actually engage. One that’s been popping up is a more AI-driven social platform where it seems like real people are commenting and liking your posts. It could be a good fit for your dad!
Sounds promising! What’s the name of that app?
Yeah, but it could help him feel less lonely in the short term. That's kinda the point, right?
