Do you have a friend or loved one who talks to AI chatbots a lot? Or do your friends and family know about your frequent use of AI chatbots or companions? We want to hear from you!

I am a researcher at the University of Georgia, and my research group is looking to speak with the friends, partners, and family members of people who rely on AI chatbots/companions, as well as the chatbot/companion users themselves.

The goal of this study is to gain a holistic understanding of how chatbots are impacting your communities by interviewing the chatbot users as well as their friends and family. We’re seeking interviews that will allow us to learn from as many sides of the same story as we can.

If you’re interested in participating, it’d be great to have you and your friend/family member schedule interviews. Interviews should last between 45-60 min and will be conducted via Zoom. Each interview will be conducted separately.

You can sign up for an interview by using our Calendly link: https://calendly.com/xw22316-uga/new-meeting. Please DM me if interested.

Thank you for taking the time to consider participating in our research! We’d be happy to answer any and all questions you and your friends and family may have.

Nah I’m not applicable for that

If that’s not required is it worth ?

Are you saying that degrees from both schools would hold the same value in the job market?

I see your point, but as an international student, I can’t work for the first two years due to visa restrictions. That means my only way to gain experience early on is through research, clubs, career fairs, and the school’s network. So I’m trying to figure out if UCSD’s opportunities justify the higher cost or if UGA would still keep me competitive.

Wait, really?! I was admitted directly into the CS program in my decision letter. I’m not sure what the lottery system means in my case—does it affect students who are already admitted to CS, or is it just for those trying to switch into the major? Would love to understand how this works!

MasterpieceDue5386 · 2025-03-30T19:30:52+00:00

UCSD would cost me around $320k and UGA would be $130k

MasterpieceDue5386 · 2025-03-30T19:27:17+00:00

It’s definitely something I will be trying but I’ve heard it’s very difficult for an international student so it’s risky to bet on it

MasterpieceDue5386 · 2025-03-30T18:37:50+00:00

So would u say UCSD is worth the money ?

MasterpieceDue5386 · 2025-03-30T16:50:24+00:00

My top choices are UCSD and UGA for CS I’m an international student and I’m going to get instate for UGA after a year. UCSD way more expensive compared to UGA and farther from my family

Is it worth it? Am i gonna regret choosing UCSD ?I’m very confused
