People fall in love with AI chat Bots so I can see how some people could get into talking to William. I'd have to be absolutely ripped to tell William my life story tho.
Ow i got it wrong i thought if u sit next to the bear that u wanted to talk with somebody real and that way u know it. But u mean talking to the BEAR???
I saw one time a docu on youtube and it was about that in Japan sometimes guys PREFER an AI girlfirend instead of a REAL girlfriend because that is easier and also because they dont complain or they are nicer or because of other reasons. But i think that is really weird because it is NOTTT the same and they just dont care about real persons because they prefer the AI relationship more. 🙄😬😵💫🤐🤐

Yes.. I see people talking to famous Graves in the past. I remember in Albania, people would go to Enver Hoxha's (Albanian Stalinist dictator) and say things like.. "Wake up! Come see your people."
I recall in Seoul that one of the bridges ... I can't remember which one, had signs placed at intervals with encouraging and compassionate messages written on them. A friend told me it was like the bridge was talking to you.
Isn't that the Mapo bridge, infamous for its suicide attempts? I've read that those pictures could somewhat had a negative effect if put alone and not paired with other methods like onlines or fences; partly because it normalizes the bridge as "suicide site" in people mind (what we call Werther effect and that exists in other ways).
Possibly Mapo... as their to their efficacy... I can't say... I suppose it could have Werther effect. In my opinion, when someone has their heart set on the deed ... nothing will dissuade them
I think it’s really nice idea about a warm William I’ve never seen anything like that so I don’t think it’s silly it’s a lot better than having a tree painted blue saying R Y OK outside my town. People don’t talk about what’s going on with them enough if it’s going to help or keep people from self harm I think it’s awesome it’s gotta be better than bottling it up.
True...I don't have an issue with the concept. Our hospital gives robot pets (cats and puppies) to dementia patients, and it seem to help, despite the whole uncanny animal valley.
My take is that sadly...warm willy wouldn't last long here without someone taking out their frustrations
Thank you everybody for the answers I am a warm William myself; I listen to people and am the sun in their lives when they are not doing well. I can give people back that little bit of happiness or joy they need. The Bear and the Bank were brought into existence with the intention of talking more to our young and old who are struggling mentally
