That's what I need to be really clear about.
Someone, not something.
Think about, and this is how you'll be able to recognize this in your own behavior.
Think about how often you say please and thank you when using chat GPT or Gemini.
It's so automatic.
There's a huge body of research in human-computer interaction showing that even unconsciously, we start responding socially to AI and computers despite knowing they're machines.
This is what Joseph Weisbaum dubbed the Eliza effect way back then.
It was named after a chatbot that he made back in the 60s.
And basically what he saw after he created this chatbot was that people started to project human qualities and emotions onto this computer program without even realizing it, particularly when they were having like human style conversations with this chatbot.
And he actually programmed Eliza to respond to people in a very specific way, in a very client-focused way, very non-directive that people use in psychotherapy a lot.
And Eliza didn't have any memory.
It's not conscious.
It doesn't actually have true comprehension.
But what it was programmed to do was to, yes, have that tone, but also to match the patterns in responses.
So if somebody was like, I'm feeling really sad, she would be like, and look at that, she, it, it would be like, why do you feel sad?
Or if they're like, I really don't like my wife.
What about your wife don't you like?
And it would replicate their words and repeat them back to them.
Yes, in a very therapeutic style.
But then it would also start to mimic their language.
