Yes, I love the people I have chosen to associate with and build community with. I consciously choose to be where they are, and to share my time with them, because they are good people and I have chosen them. An LLM ain't gonna love you back. They're just fancy ouija boards, tools that will never replace a human connection (although I assume interacting with them can still produce dopamine under certain circumstances).

It's work, it's time, but community is a function of effort and intentionality. If I want interesting conversation, I come here, because mods keep the bots out.

Not really the point. I can read a good book and get more "interesting" information content than I might get out of talking to an average person. But talking to people builds social bonds and is what creates communities in the first place. They serve different purposes. Talking to a chatbot does neither. It might give you reasonably entertaining or even informative text, but of generally lower quality and less factual reliability than real books, and it won't build social bonds or communities because you're not actually talking to any kind of entity with a continuing existence, just an ephemeral process on a server somewhere that will get turned off as soon as your session ends.

Sounds like what an LLM would say. Is this satire?
