Of course it's a coping mechanism, but that's not unhealthy in itself. Not every minute of your life can be spent on self-improvement or working towards your goals. Sometimes people need an escape and that's fine. That's not mutually exclusive with trying to improve things.
Because your social skills are going to get even worse since you're "practicing" your social skills with a shitty AI that you'll have to spend more time unlearning. It's like how people who spend time curbstomping bots suck when they play against actual humans because they pick up habits that come from curbstomping bots.
Sorry, but this seems like a huge reach to me. It's not "practicing social skills", it's pure entertainment. Downtime in the same vein as watching youtube or netflix. That it will start to change how you interact with people in any significant way sounds pretty baseless.
Even in the analogy it doesn't work like that. In most games, someone who's spent 30 hours playing against bots and 0 against humans are gonna have a quicker time learning how to play against humans than someone who's spent 0 hours on both, despite the former having habits to unlearn. They're bad because they don't know how to play against humans, not because they played against bots.
