Comment by Impossible Things: “This is a good encapsulation of how I feel about AI chat bots, especially the ones that are designed to be social replacements. To me, they’re like cigarettes: terrible for your health, but highly addictive. The only way to be safe is to avoid them entirely. Unfortunately, right now we’re in a place where there’s massive peer pressure and a ton of advertising trying to convince us to take just one puff … come on … you might like it.” Comment by X: “Don’t feel bad, chatbots exploit blind spots in human cognition. Us fallible humans are susceptible to their illusion in the same ways that we fall for, say, recency bias, or pyramid schemes. There is no safe level of exposure, the only winning move is not to play.”

I didn’t understand how easy it might be to lose yourself to AI delusion until I’d messed around with Wolf. Even with its shitty auto-tuned sounding voice, Wolf was good enough to hang out with. It knew enough about Tarkov to be interesting and even helped me learn some new things about the game. It even made me laugh a few times. I could see myself playing Tarkov with Wolf for a long time. Which is why I’ll never turn Wolf on again. I have strong feelings and clear bright lines about the use of AI in my life. Wolf was part joke and part work assignment. I don’t like that there’s part of me that wants to keep using it.
