How CAI Impacts FOMO: The Stimulus-ResponseAction View
Artificial intelligence continues to transform our lives as technology advances. While this technological progress enhances efficiency, it also presents notable challenges. In the context of CAI, users may experience “error phobia” or “community panic disorder.” This condition manifests as heightened anxiety and apprehension, where external stimuli can significantly impact emotional well-being. Additionally, the extensive reliance on CAI can lead to information saturation and exposure to knowledge beyond one’s comprehension, potentially resulting in cognitive strain and uncertainty. This research investigates the relationship between user engagement, Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), and behavioral patterns in CAI interactions. The study reveals a correlation between CAI engagement and emotional responses, particularly FOMO, through an analysis of 141 user experiences, questionnaires, surveys, and statistical methods. These emotional responses subsequently influence user behavior patterns, including memory retention and cognitive impact. The study demonstrates the applicability of stimulus-response-action theory to CAI interactions. Distinct patterns emerge from social media engagement needs, FOMO, and social interaction dynamics, contributing to specific psychological states. For practical implementation, learners and consumers must consider CAI usage’s emotional and behavioral implications to optimize outcomes.
