The AI chatbot market has grown exponentially in recent years, with more than 1.4 billion people worldwide estimated to be using them.
While tools such as ChatGPT and customer service assistants are most prevalent, millions of people are turning to personified AI chatbots, such as Replika and My AI (Snapchat), which look to imitate human interactions. Some are using these personified chatbots for platonic or romantic companionship, while others are using them for support with managing their wellbeing and mental health.
We want to know how you are using personified AI chatbots, in what ways you have found them useful and any concerns you may have.
