"Now online, they don't want you to go back down to calm. Because once you get back down to calm, you can engage the part of your brain that's logical and rational, and you go actually I've had enough time online. They keep you in an active emotional state."

But what if it's got more to do with logic than blame?
My feeling is:
1. It’s better to use the data we have to hand, as best we can. This involves focusing on & noticing outcomes.
2. It’s better to be cautious in potentially risky or even life-threatening situations (such as the one used in the famous study on this. Refs below).
3. It’s better if we all take some degree of responsibility in any situation we’re involved in.

"Assimilation-induced #dehumanization: #Psychology research uncovers a dark side effect of #AI
...when people interact with #autonomousAgents—such as robots or #virtualAssistants—that display strong #emotionalIntelligence, they tend to see those machines as more humanlike. But this shift comes with an unintended consequence: people may also begin to see other humans as less human, leading to a higher likelihood of mistreating them."

Scientist here, albeit I am a Computational Biologist. I normally don't respond to people for the reasons you outlined above. I personally don't respond unless I can contribute helpful information that people have asked for.
But yes, this has been studied.
