Oh joy, another tech paper about virtual assistants that can simulate every character from #Shakespeare to #Skynet 🤖📚. Apparently, we need an "assistant axis" to keep these digital thespians from going full HAL 9000 or, heaven forbid, developing a personality 🙄. Because clearly, what the world needs is a chatbot with the brain of a programmer and the charm of a toaster. 🍞

"Assimilation-induced #dehumanization: #Psychology research uncovers a dark side effect of #AI

...when people interact with #autonomousAgents—such as robots or #virtualAssistants—that display strong #emotionalIntelligence, they tend to see those machines as more humanlike. But this shift comes with an unintended consequence: people may also begin to see other humans as less human, leading to a higher likelihood of mistreating them."

Assimilation-induced dehumanization: Psychology research uncovers a dark side effect of AI
