Matt Bishop argues that younger generations will likely embrace AI therapists differently than older adults currently do. He compares acceptance of AI to how children adopted Instagram filters while adults found them artificial, suggesting that digital natives raised with AI will view it as normal rather than foreign. Bishop notes that adults under 30 are about twice as likely as older Americans to accept AI therapy, and predicts this generational gap will widen as children grow up interacting with AI systems from early childhood onward.
