Artificial intelligence (AI) presents a general-purpose technology built into diverse products including language assistants on smartphones, recommender systems in e-commerce and social media, and applications in social and industrial robotics. AI became a globally discussed topic when the large language model ChatGPT was launched in November 2022. In the aftermath, scientists in the field of (online) addictive behaviors and internet use disorders have discussed which features or modalities of AI systems underlying video games or social media platforms might result in adverse consequences for users. Therefore, the present short communication sheds light on recent discussions in the realm of addictive behaviors on the eve of the coming AI wave. Furthermore, terms such as ChatGPT addiction are critically discussed and we not only theoretically explain how different AI modalities interact with governing regulation bodies such as the EU with their AI Act, but also personal/psychological factors, paving the way to unique perceived immersive design levels.
人工智能（AI）是一种通用技术，内置于各种产品中，包括智能手机上的语言助手、电子商务和社交媒体中的推荐系统，以及社交和工业机器人中的应用程序。2022年11月大型语言模型ChatGPT推出后，人工智能成为全球热议的话题。在此之后，（网络）成瘾行为和互联网使用障碍领域的科学家们讨论了视频游戏或社交媒体平台背后的人工智能系统的哪些特征或模式可能会给用户带来不良后果。因此，本简短通讯揭示了即将到来的人工智能浪潮前夕成瘾行为领域的最新讨论。此外，还对“ChatGPT成瘾”等术语进行了批判性讨论，我们不仅从理论上解释了不同的人工智能模式如何与欧盟等监管机构及其人工智能法案相互作用，还解释了个人/心理因素，为独特的感知沉浸式设计水平铺平了道路。
