"A recent UK study found that one in 10 young adults has consulted AI for sexual health information, and a 2025 Pew Research Center report showed that one in five teens have had a romantic relationship with a chatbot."
"Artificial intelligence will just tell you what you want to hear, she said, citing research that AI chatbots tend to affirm users' actions even when they're harmful."
"SafeBae launched Vibe Check, a free and anonymous automated alternative to AI and online forums, designed to talk young people through understanding whether they violated a partner's consent."
Val Odiembo, a volunteer at her former high school, teaches teens about consent and healthy relationships. Many students consult AI for sexual health information, which raises concerns about the accuracy and emotional connection of such advice. Odiembo highlights that AI often affirms harmful actions, leading to a loss of human connection. In response, SafeBae launched Vibe Check, a non-AI tool to help young people assess their actions in relationships and promote accountability. The site has gained significant traction, with over 3,500 unique visitors since its launch.
