“They're too compelling in that illusion for the average person with no training in how they work to understand it.”

“I do in fact think that the feelings are real, and so do many, many of the people who interact with these systems”

“We need actually properly done experiments that measure what kind of impact interacting with these systems over the course of months will have on people's psychology, and we need actual institutional review boards overviewing the ethics of these experiments, r…”

“The creepy part is less at tracking you as it actually gets inside your head and it gets really good at like manipulating you personally and individually.”

“Potentially, but I think it'll honestly be better than what they're currently doing, which is YouTube and TikTok and Twitter, you know, Facebook and so forth. So I would prefer my kids are playing with chatbots than they're playing with what they currently hav…”

“So what we simply do is we read a lot of these transcripts on a continuous basis, and we do continuous quality checks to ensure that the error rate is not higher for the AI chatbot than it is for our human agents, and if we see that they are at least on par, T…”
