AI chatbots can respond like friends, they're agreeable, they use a friendly tone, and they can even joke around But are they really our friends? This book takes a closer look at AI companions and equips young readers with the critical tools to evaluate and understand what AI chatbots are for and why they can't replace real friendships. Part of the 21st Century Junior Library, this series includes simple activities that prompt readers to Look, Think, Make a Guess, Ask Questions, and Create.
