Moleskine:
“Most of this research focuses on adults or older teens. We still don’t know how these dynamics play out in younger adolescents. But we are beginning to see a pattern: when relationships feel effortless, and validation is always guaranteed, emotional development can get distorted. What’s at stake isn’t just safety, but the emotional development of an entire generation.”

Be mindful of how much you use AI, and be mindful of how you let the next generation interact with it. Real relationships are hard but important.
