Argues that personal chatbots can automate difficult social work and protect people not just serve brands, and demonstrates a concrete build: Ghostbot for Burner is an SMS bot that automatically classifies and replies to abusive dating messages, blocks violent content, and uses a trained NLU model tuned with a screenwriter to recognize categories like negging and insults. An open source grammar expansion tool supports collaborative tuning, the prototype is picked up by over 100 media outlets and users report relief; Teen Vogue cites one in four women 18–24 facing online sexual harassment.
