AI responses make people feel more heard and are better at emotional support compared to humans, but labeling responses as AI diminishes this effect.
Methods: Experiment and follow-up study to assess recipient reactions to AI vs. human-generated responses and determine emotional support efficacy.
Key Findings: The degree to which recipients feel heard, emotion detection accuracy, and third-party ratings of emotional support quality.
