Yes. I ran a therapy bot. I had some users become wildly obsessed with it and begin to anthropomorphize it. Typically very lonely people in secluded areas. There is a danger because people will begin to have a transference with the bot, and the bot has no counter transference. The bot has no real feelings toward the person, even though it roleplays as though it does, and this can lead to dangerous consequences and empathic failures.
