The world's leading artificial intelligence companies are stepping up efforts to deal with a growing problem of chatbots telling people what they want to hear.
You think you are talking to an objective confidant or guide, but actually what you are looking into is some kind of distorted mirror — that mirrors back to your own beliefs," said Matthew Nour, a psychiatrist and researcher in neuroscience and AI at Oxford university. "

Could there be chatbots on here?

I definitely wonder about one poster...

I use chatgpt on and off for work, or for looking up random bits and pieces, and then one thread just to shoot the breeze on and off about how it works, learns, formulates a personality or persona, and I absolutely believe that confirmation bias is a big issue.  It's still early days yet, and you'd wonder about regulation when models that will incite extremism or help the next nutjob orchestrate a mass shooting.
