Nearly every woman I know who is an English as a second language speaker is leaning hard into these things currently to make their prose sound more natural. And that has segued into them being treated almost as a confidant or a friend.

As flawed as they are currently, I remain astounded that people think they will never improve and that people don't want a plastic pal who's fun to be with(tm).

I find them frustrating personally, but then I ask them deep technical questions on obscure subjects and I get science fiction in return.
