A 2024 report reveals that teens are turning to generative AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT for advice and companionship, often feeling more comfortable than discussing personal issues with adults. Only 37% of parents are aware their children are using these AIs. While these tools aim to meet social needs, they shouldn't replace human interaction. Many teens acknowledge the loneliness driving their use of AI, seeking anonymity to avoid judgment, highlighting the necessity for adult engagement in discussions about these technologies.
We use [generative] AI because we are lonely and also because real people are mean and judging and AI isn't.
The majority of teens using generative AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT use it for everyday tasks like homework, brainstorming, or translating between languages.
