Kids use AI to make imaginary friends🚨

72% of teens use AI to make “companions”

Children share their deepest secrets with their AI imaginary friends

They’re learning emotional connect from machines that see them as products! 

These chatbots are engineered to be addictive + harvest emotional data from young minds 

Algorithms are now teaching kids what it means to be HUMAN

Is the problem these chatbots are dangerous? Or is it that we’ve created a world where kids feel like they need imaginary friends? 🤔
