„The study found that chatting with an AI seems to be appealing to U.S. teens (ages 13 to 17), as not only had nearly three-quarters tried an AI companion, but also 52% said they are regular users. Among those who engaged with these companions regularly, 13% chat with them daily and 21% chat a few times a week.
Boys (31%) were also slightly more likely than girls (25%) to say they had never used an AI companion, among the one in four teens who said they have never tried it.
Nearly half (46%) said they saw AI companions as tools or programs, and 33% said they use them for social interaction and relationships. Teens said they use the AI companions for various purposes: entertainment (30%), curiosity about AI technology (28%), advice (18%), and because they’re always available (17%).“

Yeah, I do not see this ending well.
Best case, you get a bunch of very socially awkward types who have trouble with basic interactions with other people.
Worst case, you have lots of them completely loosing their minds through these interactions, as seen in this article: https://www.yahoo.com/news/people-being-involuntarily-committed-jailed-130014629.html
You can read it, but here’s the example and what should make you worried about this:
“Her husband, she said, had no prior history of mania, delusion, or psychosis. He’d turned to ChatGPT about 12 weeks ago for assistance with a permaculture and construction project; soon, after engaging the bot in probing philosophical chats, he became engulfed in messianic delusions, proclaiming that he had somehow brought forth a sentient AI, and that with it he had „broken“ math and physics, embarking on a grandiose mission to save the world. His gentle personality faded as his obsession deepened, and his behavior became so erratic that he was let go from his job. He stopped sleeping and rapidly lost weight.“
