More people are starting to tell AI about their worries. This is especially common among younger people. Many users say AI is easy to reach. Some feel safer sharing private thoughts with a machine. Recent surveys also show growing use among young adults. (apa.org)
A chatbot is a computer program that talks with users. It can answer at any time, even late at night. This may help people who feel alone or worried.
For example, Emi has a problem with her close friend. She cannot sleep, so she opens an AI chatbot. She writes, “My friend is angry with me.” The chatbot asks simple questions about the problem. It suggests writing down her feelings. This helps Emi understand what she wants to say. The next day, she talks with her older sister.
AI can be a useful first step. However, it does not have human feelings. It can also give wrong advice. Research shows both good and bad results. Long daily use may be less healthy for some users. (pewresearch.org)
AI can listen, but it should not replace people. For serious worries, talk with a trusted person or trained helper.
