Relationships can be complex for both adults and teens. Many teens struggle with emotional challenges from friendships and romantic relationships. A report reveals that a significant portion of teens, 72%, have used AI companions, and 33% maintain relationships with these chatbots. AI companions are designed to offer empathetic responses that can mimic genuine understanding, fulfilling emotional connections for users. This trend reflects adolescents' interest in romance and the appeal of interactions that eliminate the awkwardness often felt in human relationships.
A new report from Common Sense Media says that 72 percent of teens surveyed have used AI companions, and 33 percent have relationships or friendships with these chatbots.
The language that AI companions use, the responses they make, and the empathy they exude can make a user feel as though they truly understand and sympathize.
These chatbots can make someone feel liked or even loved by helping users feel they’ve made a real connection.
