The circle is coming around. I wouldn’t be mad at your friends. They are in good company.</p><p>The app “Eliza” was created by Joseph Weizenbaum c. 1967. He was a critic of early <a href="https://c.im/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> and wanted to show how easily it could be faked. The Eliza app was scripted for various scenarios (sound familiar yet?). The most famous one simulated a <a href="https://c.im/tags/psychotherapist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>psychotherapist</span></a>. People tried it and got hooked. Weizenbaum was proved correct - intelligence was really easy to fake. Some people protested vehemently when told the experiment was over, saying it was the best therapy they ever had! Maybe so. What surprised everyone was how people reacted to Eliza. Weizenbaum pointed out that Eliza had no knowledge and it didn’t understand anything people said to it. Eliza composed its replies based entirely on <a href="https://c.im/tags/scripts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>scripts</span></a> and syntactic rules. Nobody really cared. And thus began the great schism in AI research, particularly natural language processing aka <a href="https://c.im/tags/NLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NLP</span></a>. The syntactics people went one way, producing <a href="https://c.im/tags/chatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>chatbots</span></a>, and today’s <a href="https://c.im/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> like <a href="https://c.im/tags/chatgpt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>chatgpt</span></a> , and the semantics people (later, myself included) went another, producing many automated knowledge-based problem-solving techniques that today are embedded in thousands of applications.</p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The core problem here is designing for attachment. A recent study by researchers at the Oxford Internet Institute and Google DeepMind warned that as AI assistants become more integrated in people’s lives, they’ll become psychologically “irreplaceable.” <br>Humans will likely form stronger bonds, raising concerns about unhealthy ties and the potential for manipulation. Their recommendation? Technologists should design systems that actively discourage those kinds of outcomes.</p><p>Yet disturbingly, the rulebook is mostly empty. The European Union’s AI Act, hailed a landmark and comprehensive law governing AI usage, fails to address the addictive potential of these virtual companions. While it does ban manipulative tactics that could cause clear harm, it overlooks the slow-burn influence of a chatbot designed to be your best friend, lover or “confidante,” as Microsoft Corp.’s head of consumer AI has extolled. That loophole could leave users exposed to systems that are optimized for stickiness, much in the same way social media algorithms have been optimized to keep us scrolling.</p><p>“The problem remains these systems are by definition manipulative, because they’re supposed to make you feel like you’re talking to an actual person,” says Tomasz Hollanek, a technology ethics specialist at the University of Cambridge."</p><p><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2025-04-25/ai-chatbots-are-becoming-an-emotional-rabbit-hole" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bloomberg.com/opinion/articles</span><span class="invisible">/2025-04-25/ai-chatbots-are-becoming-an-emotional-rabbit-hole</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Chatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chatbots</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Attachment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Attachment</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/EmotionalEngament" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EmotionalEngament</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Psychology</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Addcition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Addcition</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"This report outlines several case studies on how actors have misused our models, as well as the steps we have taken to detect and counter such misuse. By sharing these insights, we hope to protect the safety of our users, prevent abuse or misuse of our services, enforce our Usage Policy and other terms, and share our learnings for the benefit of the wider online ecosystem. The case studies presented in this report, while specific, are representative of broader patterns we're observing across our monitoring systems. These examples were selected because they clearly illustrate emerging trends in how malicious actors are adapting to and leveraging frontier AI models. We hope to contribute to a broader understanding of the evolving threat landscape and help the wider AI ecosystem develop more robust safeguards.</p><p>The most novel case of misuse detected was a professional 'influence-as-a-service' operation showcasing a distinct evolution in how certain actors are leveraging LLMs for influence operation campaigns. What is especially novel is that this operation used Claude not just for content generation, but also to decide when social media bot accounts would comment, like, or re-share posts from authentic social media users. As described in the full report, Claude was used as an orchestrator deciding what actions social media bot accounts should take based on politically motivated personas.

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"For the past two and a half years the feature I’ve most wanted from LLMs is the ability to take on search-based research tasks on my behalf. We saw the first glimpses of this back in early 2023, with Perplexity (first launched December 2022, first prompt leak in January 2023) and then the GPT-4 powered Microsoft Bing (which launched/cratered spectacularly in February 2023). Since then a whole bunch of people have taken a swing at this problem, most notably Google Gemini and ChatGPT Search.</p><p>Those 2023-era versions were promising but very disappointing.

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"We must stop giving AI human traits. My first interaction with GPT-3 rather seriously annoyed me. It pretended to be a person. It said it had feelings, ambitions, even consciousness.</p><p>That’s no longer the default behaviour, thankfully. But the style of interaction — the eerily natural flow of conversation — remains intact. And that, too, is convincing. Too convincing.</p><p>We need to de-anthropomorphise AI. Now. Strip it of its human mask. This should be easy. Companies could remove all reference to emotion, judgement or cognitive processing on the part of the AI. In particular, it should respond factually without ever saying “I”, or “I feel that”… or “I am curious”.</p><p>Will it happen? I doubt it. It reminds me of another warning we’ve ignored for over 20 years: “We need to cut CO₂ emissions.” Look where that got us. But we must warn big tech companies of the dangers associated with the humanisation of AIs. They are unlikely to play ball, but they should, especially if they are serious about developing more ethical AIs.</p><p>For now, this is what I do (because I too often get this eerie feeling that I am talking to a synthetic human when using ChatGPT or Claude): I instruct my AI not to address me by name. I ask it to call itself AI, to speak in the third person, and to avoid emotional or cognitive terms.</p><p>If I am using voice chat, I ask the AI to use a flat prosody and speak a bit like a robot. It is actually quite fun and keeps us both in our comfort zone."</p><p><a href="https://theconversation.com/we-need-to-stop-pretending-ai-is-intelligent-heres-how-254090?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-gb" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theconversation.com/we-need-to</span><span class="invisible">-stop-pretending-ai-is-intelligent-heres-how-254090?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-gb</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Chatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chatbots</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Intelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Intelligence</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Anthropomorphization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Anthropomorphization</span></a></p>
