Many young people are starting to talk to AI chatbots when they feel worried, lonely, or stressed. A recent Pew Research Center survey shows that this is much more common among younger adults than older people. In the United States, 20% of adults ages 18 to 29 say they have used chatbots for emotional support or advice. The numbers are lower in older groups: 13% for ages 30 to 49, 4% for ages 50 to 64, and 2% for ages 65 and older. Overall, 10% of U.S. adults say they use chatbots in this way. (pewresearch.org)

Teens show a similar pattern. Pew found that 12% of U.S. teens ages 13 to 17 have used chatbots for emotional support or advice, and 16% have used them for casual conversation. At the same time, most teens also use chatbots for other reasons, such as finding information, doing schoolwork, or having fun. This tells us that chatbots are becoming a normal part of daily life for many young people. (pewresearch.org)

But why do young people choose chatbots for personal problems? A 2025 Common Sense Media survey gives some clear answers. Among teen users of AI companions, 18% said they use them for advice, 17% liked that the chatbot is always available, and 14% said the chatbot does not judge them. Another 12% said they can share things they would not tell friends or family. In short, AI can feel easy, private, and available at any time, even late at night. For some young people, that makes it easier to open up. (commonsensemedia.org)

Still, AI is not a perfect friend. In the same Common Sense Media survey, 67% of teens said conversations with AI were less satisfying than conversations with real friends. Parents are also careful: only 18% say they are comfortable with their teen getting emotional support or advice from a chatbot. So, young people may turn to AI because it is quick, kind, and always there. However, real human support still seems more meaningful for most people. (commonsensemedia.org)
