"But he was so very, very lonely. He didn't know why he was so lonely. He had a lot of friends, but he still felt so alone. He thought and thought about this problem for many years, and finally came up with a solution. He would create a companion for himself. This companion would be his friend, and would love him just as much as his other friends did."

I feel like I've read a story like this before. gpt-3 must be paraphrasing an existing story?
