TW: This video contains a brief mention of suicide. Viewer discretion is advised. As AI chatbots become more accessible, many young adults are turning to tools like ChatGPT to vent and seek comfort. But why are we relying on AI for emotional support — and could over-dependence risk replacing real human connection or even traditional therapy? If you need immediate mental health support in Singapore, call the 24/7 National CARE Hotline at 1771, WhatsApp 6669 1771, or visit mindline.sg. For crisis support, contact Samaritans of Singapore (SOS) at 1-767.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
