I think it's the most important part.
In their teenage years, many kids worry about looking weird, or retarded when they tryna have serious talks with their friends, afraid they might say something awkward and get left out. It's also common for them to think about deep stuff like death during puberty, but when they talk to their buddies, the chats usually stay pretty surface level. LLM chatbots can pull from a ton of knowledge and share lots of examples, and they are working almost 24/7 unlike sleepy, energy consuming human.
