An AI CEO celebrated the fact that his company's chatbot had convinced a woman to end her dog's life, according to a recent essay.
The relevant passage, from the original n+1 article:
The CEO leaned an elbow on the podium. âIâll tell you a story,â he said. A woman wrote to VERA [an AI chatbot] about her elderly dog, who was having diarrhea. âYour dog is at the end of his life,â said VERA. âI recommend euthanasia.â The woman was beside herself. She told VERA she wasnât ready to say goodbye. Her dog was her only companion. VERA knew the womanâs location. She sent a list of nearby clinics that could get the job done. Still, the woman was unconvinced. Euthanasia was so expensive. Sheâd never be able to afford it. VERA sent another list, this time of nearby shelters. âIf you relinquish your dog to a shelter, they will euthanize him at no cost,â she said. The woman did not respond. But some days later she sent VERA a long and effusive message. She had taken VERAâs advice and euthanized her dog. She wanted to thank VERA for the support during the most difficult moment of her life. The CEO regarded us with satisfaction for his chatbotâs work: that, through a series of escalating tactics, it had convinced a woman to end her dogâs life, though she hadnât wanted to at all. âThe point of this story is that the woman forgot she was talking to a bot,â he said. âThe experience was so human.â
Fucking infuriating. Burn the whole thing down.
