Can an AI friend make us feel less lonely? Recent research gives a mixed answer.

AI companions are chatbots designed to listen, respond warmly, and remember personal information. They are available at any time, so people can talk to them when friends or family are busy. In several studies, people felt less lonely immediately after speaking with an AI companion. However, researchers found no clear evidence that this improvement continued after the conversation ended.

Longer use may bring different results. In a four-week study with 981 people, researchers did not find that one type of chatbot conversation was clearly better than another. However, people who chose to use the chatbot more often showed more loneliness, emotional dependence, and unhealthy use. This does not prove that chatbots caused these problems, but it suggests that heavy use may be a warning sign. (media.mit.edu)

Another study followed more than 2,000 adults for one year. People who felt less connected to others were more likely to turn to social chatbots. At the same time, increased chatbot use predicted stronger feelings of emotional isolation several months later. The researchers said that more study is needed before making a strong conclusion.

Human contact still seems important. In a two-week study of 296 university students, one group chatted with an AI friend, while another texted a student they did not know. Only the students who talked with another person became less lonely. The AI improved their mood for a short time, but it did not reduce loneliness. (psych.ubc.ca)

AI friends may be useful when someone needs to express feelings or calm down. Still, they should probably be a bridge to human connection, not a replacement for it. If AI encourages us to contact a friend, join a group, or ask for help, it may support a healthier social life.
