Have you ever had to deal with an AI that’s a bit too familiar? I’m talking about those chatbots that use overly casual language, like they’re trying to be your buddy. It’s like, I get it, you’re trying to be friendly, but can’t you just show some respect?
I had a run-in with one of these AI Muppets on WhatsApp recently. It used the word ‘sick’ in a way that was clearly meant to be relatable, but it just came across as insincere. I mean, I knew what it meant, but it was the principle of the thing. It was like, hello, I’ve never spoken to you before, and already you’re trying to be my mate?
I think what bothers me about this kind of language is that it’s trying to manipulate me into feeling a certain way. It’s like, I’m not stupid, I can see what you’re doing. Just be honest and direct, you know?
But hey, maybe I’m just being too sensitive. What do you think? Do you have any experiences with AI chatbots that were a bit too cheeky for their own good?
