- Abstract: The rise of language models like ChatGPT has introduced Social AI as a new
form of entertainment, particularly among young adults who engage with
AI-powered agents. This paper investigates the effects of these interactions on
users' social and mental well-being, a subject that has incited extensive
debate among both the public and scholars. Our study involved a survey of 5,260
users of Chai, a Social AI Platform. The findings indicate significant
benefits, with notable variations across demographics. Female users, in
particular, reported the most substantial improvements: 43.4% strongly agreed
that Social AI positively impacted their mental health, exceeding male users by
10.5%. In managing social anxieties, 38.9% of females strongly agreed on a
positive impact, compared to 30.0% for males and 27.1% for other genders.
Historically, new media and technology have often been met with groundless
moral panic, with societal figures raising concerns without substantial
evidence of harm. Our research indicates the importance of approaching such
claims with caution and emphasizes the necessity of an evidence-based
perspective in discussions about the behavioral effects of emerging
technologies.

We present SOTOPIA, an open-ended environment to simulate complex social interactions between artificial agents and humans.
In our environment, agents role-play and interact under a wide variety of scenarios; they coordinate, collaborate, exchange, and compete with each other to achieve complex social goals.
We find that GPT-4 achieves a significantly lower goal completion rate than humans and struggles to exhibit social commonsense reasoning and strategic communication skills.
