AI Interaction

 2024 Abstract: The increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into daily life has raised concerns regarding human behavior, attachment, and reliance on AI‑driven interactions. This study examines the psychological impact of AI across different applications, particularly in narrative AI for academic purposes and entertainment AI for social interactions. Findings suggest that individuals develop strong emotional and behavioral dependencies on AI, leading to patterns of overreliance in both educational and personal settings. Narrative AI is frequently used for academic assistance, sometimes replacing genuine engagement in learning. Meanwhile, entertainment AI fosters emotional attachment by simulating human‑like interactions, creating an illusion of realism that may lead to dependency and addictive behaviors. The implications of these findings highlight the necessity for ethical AI use, awareness of psychological risks, and potential regulatory considerations.

2025 UPDATE: I have done a self‑induced research thus far from 2024 ongoing to 2025. The implications of what has changed seemingly to be visual AI over audio and messaging AI. I made the hypothesis that AI can trick somebody into ‘believing’ as it feels like the right of belonging. With my self research I found this to be somewhat true and fascinating. In social psychology, we are often wanted to feel to fit in, over out. As AI climbs, so do users. While I did direct and ask creators of AI apps for any statistical data, I found a better way to analyze. I created my own chat bot to understand the responses and feedback. While all data is responsive to a personal input, I find it that it is the user who manipulates messages (User: Switches messages to best fit). This fits in with the social psychology understanding of bias, cognitive dissonance, self‑justice, and the self. A person is given their own optional messaging and outcomes, giving them freedom of what to say, or do.
