This statstic is meaningless. They could all know the same kid in the chatbot relationship. Unlikely but still, just because "one in five" know someone who... Doesn't mean 20% of kids are in one.

Press X to doubt on that headline.

The article doesn't support it. My teen son's response (we're in the UK): "bullshit"

Clickbait imnsho.

Someone who is under the delusion that they’re in a relationship with an AI chatbot

I wonder how many AI-relationships it actually takes to get 20% of a network to know one of them.

Sample size of "over 1 thousand", feels meaningfully meaningless.
