I was wondering the same; whether the comments were produced by chatgpt.

The comments were by genuine people, answering the survey questions.

YC startup school videos had a concept called 'hair-on-fire' problem. There are many lonely people in the world whose 'hair-on-fire' problem is loneliness, and they are willing to try things to make it go away.

I think my app managed to tap into their needs, and I am honestly more glad that they have found it somewhat useful than that they shared me their locations for my app.
