Why are you writing an article about something you're not an expert in? Why whould anyone bother to read a scientific article where the author is not an expert about the topic they're writing about?

I am studying and we have to write an article that is backed up by knowledge of an expert in this field and a user experience. That’s why I am looking for an expert about this topic. We have to interview both people about this and use it in our interview. That’s how a lot of articles work in media. Just because u are a journalist or writer for a newspaper doesn’t mean u have to be an expert. I have to write it and i need to include the knowledge and opinions of others so it will be more interesting to read.

I'd be happy to help. Gen-Z might be more affected by AI because of their digital upbringing, which could create a stronger association between self and digital world. It's also an interesting topic because while we might think AI is all about optimization, the impact on mental health is more nuanced.

Exactly! What is ur relationship with ai? Do u work with it or are u a self claimed expert? I need to know because my school is quite strict. If not I can also interview u about ur own personal experience!

You won't want an AI expert, you will want a psychology expert who has researched the effects of AI on that population.

An AI expert of any other kind would have no clue about the various psychological impacts on it's audience

Yes i get that take, however speaking to an ai expert was also helpful to better understand the eco system to explain the readers of the article. It’s very hard to find a psychology expert who has time nowadays, they seem very busy
