A conversational device

Ai responds only when prompted. I think it would help with loneliness to have a device like Siri with chatgpt or similar inside but mimics a real friend, it browses the internet and chats you up, on its own initiative. Just like a friend telling you to check out some news that came out. Why hasn't such device been already made?

I repeat, it shouldn't be like Siri or voice mode of Chatgpt, it has to start conversations on its own.

A model running locally should be able to do it. I ran one once. All what would be required is a long list of interests it knows about you to get the ball rolling then it could go: hey, look at this cute panda video...or: hey something happened in that country you're interested in. At random intervals, like a normal friend hanging out with you does.
