I agree people now also have 'real person' friends which they have never met.

> I'm talking about a bot that also has issues and needs friends to solve them.

I am not sure I understand what you mean. You would not mind having a digital friend with a fake life? My girlfiend left me, I failed my exams, I got my drivers license, etc.

Not necessary a fake life, but problems of their own: they can't understand what humans say, they want to know what it's like to have a body and experience the physical world, that kind of things... Very much what happened in the movie "Her" actually.

That sounds like a true general AI, not like a chatbot from FB or Apple ;)
