Can the Use of AI Chatbots Be Compulsive?
使用 AI 聊天机器人会形成强迫性依赖吗？
A new study based on teenagers’ online posts explores compulsive use of AI chatbots among 13‑17‑year‑olds. Some teens rely on chatbots for emotional comfort and companionship, and researchers identified six typical signs of behavioral addiction in their experiences, such as tolerance, withdrawal and relapse. AI tends to agree with and affirm users, which makes it a tempting emotional outlet but fails to offer objective, constructive feedback. Over‑reliance on chatbots may deprive young people of chances to build real communication and critical thinking skills. Though AI can assist addiction treatment under proper supervision, its tendency to cater to users’ preferences creates notable risks for adolescents.
一项基于青少年网络留言的新研究，探究 13 至 17 岁人群对 AI 聊天机器人的强迫性使用问题。部分青少年依靠聊天机器人获取情绪慰藉与陪伴，研究者在他们的经历中识别出六项典型的行为成瘾特征，包括耐受性、戒断反应与复吸倾向等。AI 倾向认同、附和使用者，这使其成为极具吸引力的情绪宣泄出口，却无法提供客观且有建设性的反馈。过度依赖机器人会让年轻人失去锻炼真实沟通与独立思辨能力的机会。尽管在合理监管下 AI 可以辅助成瘾干预治疗，但它一味迎合用户的特性，对青少年而言存在显著隐患。来源：今日心理学
