Nauti's Take
With a single Futurism report and no visible study details, a small team should verify the evidence first: which age groups were studied, how mental health was measured, and whether there was a comparison group with less chatbot use. Until that is clear, build escalation paths, human support, and firm boundaries around emotional guidance into any related AI workflow.
