I think that’s what bothers me so much about chatbots. Like I know it’s a computer, it knows it’s a computer, just drop the charade. Also the marketing emails that are like “we noticed…” No you didn’t, there’s no “we.”
A.I. chatbots have been designed to behave in a humanlike way, rather than as tools with no inner life. Some experts in human-computer interaction say this approach creates cognitive dissonance for users about what exactly they are interacting with and how much to trust it.
