A new study surveyed 4,641 individuals across seven countries to understand the adoption of large language models (LLMs) for emotional support. The research found significant variations in adoption rates, ranging from 20% to 59% depending on the country. Key factors influencing positive perceptions of LLMs for emotional support included age (25-44), religious affiliation, marital status, and higher socioeconomic status, with the latter being the most influential. English-speaking nations generally reported more positive perceptions compared to continental European countries, and users frequently sought help for issues like loneliness, stress, and relationship conflicts.
