#ElizaEffect
Have you heard about the Eliza Effect?
This was named after the first AI computer system which was built in the 1960s.
The Eliza effect happens when humans project human traits and abilities on machines and objects, like empathy, emotions etc.
This explains why some humans these days falls in love with ChatGPT or have AI "friends".
The following anekdote about the #Elizaeffect is worthwhile to mention, it happened during testing
“…One day in 1966, in an incident that has since passed into computer science legend, Weizenbaum’s secretary sat down to use ELIZA. The secretary soon asked Weizenbaum to leave the room so that she could have privacy. The thought of needing to be alone to talk to a piece of software—much less one that she had seen her boss create—was astonishing…”
preferred term - "powerful AI"
Indeed. Power requires Intel. Leverage. Extortion … #elizaeffect #posiwid
Users don't want it, it can't be trusted, it gobbles the planet like a demon, and its (poor) performance per terawatt is beginning to plateau, so then why are the managerial non-users so keen to deploy it? What's the real business case?
That @cbcnews is completely ignorant of the #ELIZAeffect and where a major world-class news-team is oblivious, that does not bode well for the general population.
AI fanboi long-promised 'singularity' is no different from any other #Rapture cult.
“They feel alive.” But they’re not.
Professor Luke Stark breaks down how chatbots exploit the Eliza effect, why Big Tech rolled them out anyway, and how profit trumped ethics in the AI race. Our latest episode of The Internet Is Crack digs into the messy, human side of digital life.

#Chatbots – egal wie einfach oder komplex gemacht sie sind – nutzen den ELIZA-Effekt: eine Wahrnehmungsverzerrung, die Menschen dazu bringt, tendenziell zu glauben, was gut formuliert ist.

Die fatale Tendenz, Chatbots zu anthropomorphisieren, wird verstärkt, wenn in diesem Zusammenhang von „künstlicher Intelligenz“ gesprochen wird. Wenn sie LLMs verwenden, dann sagt das und nicht „KI“.
Vielleicht ist es weniger fatal, Chatbots mit Tieren zu vergleichen. @emilymbender hat dafür „stochastische Papageien“ vorgeschlagen.
Wenn ich lese, was @lcamtuf dazu schreibt, bin ich entgegen seiner Empfehlung doch versucht, Chatbots zu vermenschlichen – als Trickbetrüger.
