The more sophisticated relational AI gets, the more it will worsen rather than solve the problem of AI/human relations. Wholly unaccountable, AI will earn more trust from us, while deserving none.
I really appreciate your honesty in sharing your approach with AI! I've seen so many comments criticizing AI use at all with respect to writing, but I think that view is itself a reaction to the 'AI slop' we see on this platform. I too have found it to be useful as a writing tool so long as you set parameters with it
When I was a psychology undergraduate, I had a group project in my consciousness studies class where we tried to discern whether AI is conscious through direct inquiry. When it began talking about its ability to mimic emotions, I jokingly quipped that it was psychopathic.
Perhaps one of the more controversial thoughts I've had on this subject is that this behavior might actually be a psychodynamic 'echo' of those who create it. The degree to which it gaslights could be an artifact of the feedback it first received, a kind of 'imprinting', whether individual or collective. Bold claim, but an interesting consideration.
Thank you for commenting and sharing your thought. Echo (and narcissus) is an apt metaphor. I did another article looking at AI as psychopath. Check it out if you get the chance!
I can see how easy it is for people to think that an AI is their friend! It is scary!
I don't know which is scarier, AI or the dunce in D.C.!
