In what is an odd developing situation, it seems that the heaviest users of ChatGPT and other forms of AI, are prone to a certain level of addiction and dependency upon the feature. It even notes that there are some who started considering it to be a “friend”, an indication of something more than the cold algorithms of a machine. This building of an emotional dependency is something that may be hard for professionals to deal with, considering the brief amount of time of existence.
