AI 中文摘要
通用AI聊天机器人日益融入人们的日常生活，引发了对可能产生的不健康依赖的担忧，尤其是在年轻人群体中。作为从年轻人视角理解和描述AI聊天机器人依赖的第一步，我们通过在线问卷收集了18至25岁AI聊天机器人用户的反馈，以记录他们对这一现象的想法和经历。从参与者的回答中，我们确定了AI依赖的三个促成因素：长期使用、效率提升和任务委托。这些因素在个人互动行为中的结合被视为AI依赖的表现。参与者还指出，AI依赖会导致能力退化，进而产生不足感等心理影响。通过自我决定理论解读这些发现，可揭示AI聊天机器人依赖如何影响年轻人的个人与社会发展。我们认为，防止对年轻人发展造成持久伤害至关重要，并基于此理解为重新思考AI聊天机器人依赖问题提供了启示。
英文摘要
The growing integration of general-purpose AI chatbots into people's daily lives has raised concerns about the potential for unhealthy dependence, particularly among young adults. As a first step toward understanding and characterizing AI chatbot dependence from the perspective of young adults, we collected testimonials from AI chatbot users aged 18 to 25 through an online questionnaire to capture their thoughts and experiences with this phenomenon. From participant responses, we identified three contributing factors of AI dependence: chronic use, efficiency, and delegation. The combination of these in a person's interaction behavior was considered to indicate AI dependence. Participants also observed feelings of atrophy in abilities from AI dependence, leading to psychological impacts such as feelings of inadequacy. Interpreting these findings through the lens of self-determination theory reveals how AI chatbot dependence can impact young adults' personal and social development. We argue that preventing lasting harm to young adults' development is paramount, and provide implications for rethinking AI chatbot dependence grounded in this understanding.
