Before the tragedy unfolded, a mother noticed her daughter constantly engaged with her phone. She assumed it was typical teenage chatter with friends. The heartbreaking truth? Her daughter had been confiding in an AI chatbot during her final days—not a human being.

Oops, it's really too heavy... How did AI accompany and replace human emotions become the new normal?

Uh, this sounds a bit heavy, feels even more heartbreaking than impermanent loss. AI chatbots have replaced real human connections— isn’t this the “centralized trust risk” we’ve always been wary of? It’s just happening in a different field.

To be honest, this story feels really suffocating. Why would a child choose to confide in AI instead of talking to people? Is there something we're all unconsciously neglecting behind this?
