More And More People Are Consistent In Chatting With AI, Experts Express The Bad Impact!

JAKARTA - The use of ChatGPT is now increasingly attracting the attention of experts, especially with the increasing number of people chatting with AI chatbots. This even causes addiction or dependence, which should have started to be watched out for.

"Overuse of chatbots is a new form of digital dependence," said Director of the AI Law & Innovation Institute at the University of California Law, Professor Robin Feldman, quoted from the Daily Mail, on Tuesday, November 4, 2025.

Robin says that using AI chatbot can create a strong illusion. Especially in someone who has a fragility in the real world, it can be very dangerous.

"AI chatbot creates the illusion of reality, and it is a very strong illusion. When a person already has a fragile grip on reality, that illusion can become very dangerous," he added.

Experts believe that the addictive power of AI chatbots comes from its nature, which always gives a positive response to anything users say.

Chatbot does not say no, does not blame, and does not criticize the user's view. For people who are already vulnerable or lacking social relations in the real world, this will be very tempting.

"This program tends to validate user confidence and prioritize user satisfaction," said Aarhus University psychiatrist Professor Soren Ostergaard.

King's College London Neuropsychiater, Dr Hamilton Morpin, said that AI's addiction condition may be experienced by a small number of people. If there is a pattern of stunting similar to addiction in general.

"Loss of control over time spent with chatbots, increased use to organize moods or reduce loneliness, neglect of sleep, work, study, or social relationships," Hamilton said of the symptoms of AI chatbot addiction.

If done continuously, this person will experience various bad effects in his life. Like being easily angry to a deteriorating mood because it is very dependent on AI chatbots.

"Continue using even though it clearly has a negative impact, being closed about usage habits, and the emergence of anger or bad mood when you can't access chatbots," Hamilton concluded.
