Aha what a loser thing to do, I personally have a fleet of 347 agents running 24/7 talking to my parents, siblings, grandparents, friends, asking them how they're doing and wishing them a happy birthday when the time comes. I can finally focus on the important things!

Your example proves their point perfectly. You shouldn't delegate wishing your grandma happy birthday to a fucking AI agent. And you should feel ashamed for doing so. And you should feel the social pressure to hide that fact if you do resort to it.

While this tech doesn't feel quite as dystopian as most recent AI innovations, I do think it is a further step in the direction of human disconnection.

Well you both prove each other’s point ;)

As long as the ROI from social relationships(inheritance, friendship favors, dating/mating potential, etc) can be upheld using less effort, such as language models, its a no-brainer and you lose out to competition if you don't do it.

Are you saying you've never texted happy birthday to anyone? or people doing so should be ashamed? or it's ok to type the message on the phone but not saying it?

Haha, I can't tell if this is a parody or not
