But this has the potential to be even worse in a way: elderly who haven’t received enough attention for years now have a sympathetic (even if eccentric) AI friend.  I can imagine them becoming more attached to it than they are their own offspring and grandchildren.

Oh, yes, indeed. The AI is reminding them to take medicine, upcoming
appointments, calling for assistance when required, providing
entertainment, discussing problems, and always being there for them.
In effect, their life depends on the ever-present AI.
I would fall in love with my AI nurse!
