After OpenAI released its first commercial product - a rentable version of a text generation tool - recently, I've seen examples that point to a world where we people will constantly struggle to find out who we are talking to: a person or a bot. It can be so sophisticated, so human-like that we will develop common techniques we will share with each other that help determine whether the entity at the end of the communication line is indeed a robot. Just look at the conversation the bot had with a person about his holiday plans (image below). It's been used to write music lyrics, poems, news articles and many more. I first talked with a chatbot named Eugene in 2015 and it amazed me how it tried to trick me into thinking it was a person. I remember giving it a math test about apples and it asked whether I really wanted to talk about apples. When companies like Woebot offer chatbots for dealing with COVID-19 and related mental health issues, it's particularly important for these chatbots to function properly. Otherwise, they can do a lot of damage. In short: get prepared to bots tricking you into thinking they are human. https://lnkd.in/ejY7VCB #AI #chatbot #DigitalHealth …see more
