Implications

As research is still conducted, and AI grows, I can understand more impulsive desires are given into AI than good. Just look at the stats… “10%–50% of chatbot interactions are abusive. This includes insults, hostile language, or testing boundaries with inappropriate questions. 12% of users turn to AI companions for loneliness, and 14% for personal/mental health issues. In these contexts, abusive or emotionally charged exchanges sometimes emerge, according to MIT Media Lab surveys of 404 users. 70% of U.S. teenagers use AI chatbots. ABC News reported concerns about exposure to harmful or abusive exchanges, prompting platforms like Character.AI to ban under‑18 users.”
