WHAT IF You're Talking To AI Bot???

WHAT IF You're Talking To AI???

YES, surely you and me may have already had spoken with a conversational AI bot [and it's possible you were NOT even aware of it].  YES, a lot of communication these days happens over text.  And YES, you might even text back and forth with a match on a dating app OR message a company rep WHEN in need of customer service rather than speak on the phone with either party.  So, the question is,  WHAT IF You're Talking To AI Bot??? 

YES, conversational AI has come a long way in recent years and the introduction of chatbots like ChatGPT has only supercharged the situation.   These bots were already getting HARD TO SPOT before intelligent AI made it possible to even mimic human language to a frightening degree.  BUT even as this tech advances rapidly, it is far from perfect.  There are some hallmarks of AI chatbots you can look out for to help you determine WHETHER the 'person' on the other end of the chat REALLY is WHO THEY SAY THEY REALLY ARE.  So, without encouraging you to be cynical, let us do watch out for tell-tale signs that indeed it's AI Bot you're talking to📗📙📘

BUT things have changed so swiftly the recent year.  Large language models have rapidly advanced.  They even now have a strong command of English.  Oh YES, it is NOT that often a chatbox will spit something out that makes it sound like it DOESN'T understand the language it is using.  On the other hand, when it DOESN'T understand, it has learned the interrelationships between words to know HOW to arrange them in a way that makes sense to humans.  BUT please be aware that sometimes, some of the words used by bot would sound 'wierd' AS IN.  WHILE words like 'DELVE INTO' and 'TAPESTRY' are NOT damning, that should give you a cue that your 'FRIEND' is actually powered by a large language model💧💧💧

One of the most obvious ways to detect with bots is its repetitions.  Bots tend to be 'single-minded' whereas human conversation tends to be fluid, where subjects are introduced, dropped and then picked up again later.  BUT specialized chatbots are usually constructed for specific purposes.  and they will doggedly pursue those purposes NO MATTER WHAT you do.  It's just part and parcel of their baseline instructions.  If you notice that 'PERSON' you're speaking/chatting to by being repetitive, likely you're dealing with a bot💥💥💥

Our takeaway:  Please DON'T get me wrong. I am NOT implying that let's NOT deal with bots because sometimes they serve our purpose BUT even assuming you need that bot's help, be cautioned that SOMETIMES, their answers are VAGUE [so it DOESN'T serve your need] and SOMETIMES, the speed of bot's responses are SUPER FAST, many times faster than us humans BUT at the end of the day, be aware if you're interacting with a bot.  Happy chat day!!!
