While a small but growing fraction of people are turning to AI for emotional support, the social impacts of this trend are still unclear. In the absence of concrete evidence, it’s worth being cautious about letting AI substitute for genuine human contact.
There is also a real risk of getting caught in consultation loops—bouncing between different AI models as a way to circumvent making a decision. This can lead to confusion rather than clarity.
To avoid this, it’s important to draw from your own experience. “You have to make a judgment call,” says Mollick. Relying on your personal insight ensures that AI remains a helpful tool rather than a crutch.
