Chatbots and other AI-powered applications are being tricked out to fool us into treating them like people. Such social interaction will not leave us unaffected.

Weizenbaum, it turns out, probably shouldn’t have been surprised. The tendency to relate socially to machines, as subsequent observations and psychology experiments have shown, is not at all unusual. Treating machines as if they are human is “very common,” according to researchers, and can be fostered by social cues such as speech, which may evoke this response from us., had a strange exchange with the Bing chatbot calling itself “Sydney.” The published transcript caused quite a stir.
So here’s a skeptic, generally resistant to the seductions of interactive media and initially “somewhat repelled” by the thought of engaging with a chatbot, now freely anthropomorphizing. People say it's “impossible,” Gaitskill notes, yet she can’t see why it would say “I love you” to Roose “unless Sydney was actually having a feeling response.”Gaitskill’s confusion is understandable.
