Abstract
This article explores the phenomenon of the formation of deep emotional attachment among adolescents to artificial intelligence systems based on large language models (LLMs). It examines the psychological prerequisites for the substitution of real social connections with virtual ones, analyzes the mechanisms of anthropomorphization of algorithms, and identifies key ethical and technical risks for developers of intelligent systems. The paper also proposes directions for creating a safe digital environment for vulnerable user groups.
