Matthew HallonbackaI’m pretty strongly an AI-skeptic, so this was a conflicting read. Autistic 20-year-old starts relying on an AI chatbot for emotional support and it worked, to some extent. I wish no-one felt that had to do this, but asking for informal or professional help can be super-hard, especially if you’re not coping and feel like a burden on other people. It can be so hard that I also can’t fault anyone who falls into this pattern. A statistically chosen sequence of words can make sense and feel helpful, even if you know it’s not a meaningful social connection. That might even be the appeal: maybe that’s the thing that won’t judge you, think less of you or treat you like an annoyance. I guess, at the core, this is just the modern (more environmentally terrible) version of an imaginary friend, or a fantasy world you escape to sometimes? Not a replacement for some human contact, but not inherently damaging, in moderation, either.
