That\u2019s not nothing, and I don\u2019t want to pretend otherwise. While it\u2019s hard to accept, it is a reality that\u2019s here with us today and we need to have a plan on what to do with it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mentalhealth411.substack.com\/p\/why-young-people-are-using-ai-for\">https:\/\/mentalhealth411.substack.com\/p\/why-young-people-are-using-ai-for<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Hopelab report shares six things young people get from AI, and the real question I have is why these things aren&#8217;t available to them elsewhere?<\/p>\n<p>They want straight answers; they want to be assured of privacy; they don&#8217;t want to be a burden; they want someone instantly available; they want to be understood; and they want a neutral party.<\/p>\n<p>Some of those wants can be a little difficult to get from people, and in some ways we will never be as available as a chatbot is, or always able to be neutral, but surely we can be better than we are now, no?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there are risks, well-documented by the author of the link above, but we&#8217;d be silly to stick our heads in the sand and pretend that the appeal of AI chatbots for many is baseless.
