Nice. I hate that. I know my ideas suck and insincere praise just pisses me off.
And its a computer program! It has as much value as getting "we are sorry to see you go" on a web page.

This may be the next big sabotage of society.
Algo-driven unregulated social media pushed negative views, division, misinformation, while opening the platforms to manipulative content producers and connecting positive as well as negative influences (like finding communities of extremism).
If unregulated AI interfaces get pushed to people, they will not critically verify, but be confirmed in their own and the AIs biases, without any obvious indicators that this is happening.
Good thing we see some kinds of positive regulation. Like them pulling this model, interfaces adding disclosures of AI and uncertainty, and regulation by law.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
