I have questions about AI usage and its effects on young adults for a research paper for school.

Hi! Im not sure if this is allowed but I have a research paper for a college class coming up soon. The class is online but we are told to interview people in fields related to our chosen subjects. If anyone has time to answer a few questions I would really appreciate the help!

The paper is about how the sycohpantic behavior of generative AI models, particularly ChatGPT, pose a risk to the mental health of young adults about age 15 - 22 who's brains and view of the world are not yet fully formed.

1. What risks are unique to conversational AI compared with earlier internet technologies?

2. Do you have any concerns about young adults using AI? If so what are they?

3. How do you think AI use could impact a young person's critical thinking skills, problem solving skills, and/or social development?

4. What personality traits make someone more vulnerable to negative effects of communicating with AI?

5. What signs would you look for to indicate that someone has an unhealthy attachment or use of AI?

6. How do AI conversations differ psychologically from conversations with a friend or parent?

7. From your standpoint what kind of gaps do we have in knowledge pertaining to AI affects on young adults mental health?

You can answer as many or as little as you like, and any other input you might have on the subject or recommendations for articles for me to look into are very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance for any help!

We have been together 5 years and just moved in together about 6 months ago. I really love being with him and spending time together, when we are apart I am always thinking about ways to make his day better or make him happy. I really love him.

I work full time and have school part time, I went back to pursue a nursing degree I know its late in life and im a stereotype but I want to do more with my life. He works seven days a week and we are both servers. I know he is really really stressed from working so much so i try not to bring it up but I feel like we dont spend much time together. Hes always working and in my free time Im either doing school, cleaning or cooking us dinner.

He likes to go out drinking on the weekend with his friends and I just come home....as a result we really only spend one or two hours together a day. Maybe that's a lot for other couples but for me it dosent feel like it. I miss him. I really get excited about wanting to be with him. Usually we will watch a movie or TV show together and eat dinner as our time with each other. And I talk...yeah...I know its probably not a good habit. I wanna ask him how his day was I wanna talk to him about dumb stuff I dunno. Most of the time I make comments about the show we are watching. A lot of the times its stuff like 'I would search for you too!' If the main character is separated from his loved one or something cute like that.

Lately he's been telling me that he wants me to shut up and not talk when we watch things. And that really hurts my feelings, we live together but barely see each other. When we see each other he picks something to watch and then im not allowed to talk? It kinda feels like.. like he just dosent like me.
