You haven't considered the company offering this service could possibly want its users to be engaged, thus using the service more? I don't have a very hospitable opinion on any of these companies.
You may think that kind of interaction is weird, but were in the thick of a loneliness epidemic, and its not a stretch to think some may actually wilfully socialise with an LLM.
As an aside...my sister works in medicine, and her boss (specialist surgeon) finishes a $450 consultation which followed him telling my sister "but deepseek says x,y,z..."
It could be quite accidental and not pre-concieved though. Where some metric, "time spent in chats" drives certain features or parameters. Could be fully automated (i.e. continuous A/B tests) or through layers of "Excel managers".
But it stands to reason that a company like OpenAI or Anthropic has metrics in place that drive their setup towards "more engagement" and away from "factually correct".
