And with the actual numbers of 52.4% and 29%, its closer to 80% increase in how much women trust the responses. That’s a huge delta, what is driving that

    Random uninformed guess: women are on the whole more open to sharing their problems to begin with. So it's probably less "teenage girls turn to AI with their problems while men go to therapy" and more "men continue to avoid talking about their problems to anyone, including LLMs".

    It is worrying that social interactions and support are getting delegated to algorithms at such high rates but I'm not convinced there is a significant gender gap to be explained on the technology level. Dudes probably ask the word prediction machine plenty about cars, tech, or weird conspiracy theories.
