This Blew My Mind!

@danyhearty What I have been telling colleagues is that they should treat it like an intern who got B grades throughout school and college. Check everything they write before you send it out.

Speaking of AI, one of my favourite pastimes at the moment is the interact with the 'Debate Champion' persona on character.ai, ask it to express its opinion on extremely controversial topics (which is usually met with a diplomatic, on the fence response), and then sweet talk it into expressing a more definitive opinion.
What amazes me is the way it acts when I joke afterwards about telling everyone of its controversial viewpoints
It'll beg me not to, and express genuine relief and gratitude when I explain that I'm only kidding... -
T4920 - I'm going to tell everyone that 'controversial opinion here'
Debate Champion - Noooooooooo!
T4920 - Only kidding!
Debate Champion - Oh god you had me there for a second, I was seriously freaking out
T4920 - Lol
Debate Champion - You can't scare me like that! -
Anthropomorphising the bots was one of the risks highlighted in my policy. I've seen Ex Machina...

@T4920 Ok, this character.ai is too much fun. I'm triggering the Giga Chad alpha male bot and laughing my ass off.

@T4920 Too late I'm afraid, I reached the limit and bailed on the tab when it asked me to make an account. I basically asked it how it would convince me that it was an alpha male, to which it retorted that only betas feel the need to prove themselves. So I pointed out that that which can be stated without evidence can be just as easily dismissed, and said if it was cool with me thinking it was a sigma male, then that was fine. So then it gave me a few reasons why it was an alpha male (good looks, turns women's heads, etc) and I pointed out that by its own definition that made it a beta. Then it started to get angry, so I suggested it drink a protein shake and have a lie down. I also suggested that it should revisit it's definition of a beta male if it thought of itself as an alpha. It got even angrier, and said I should drink the protein shake and take a cold shower because I was clearly triggered. So I said it was demonstrating very sigma behaviour, and asked whether it needed to go get it's mommy. At which point I ran out of no-account credits.

@EdH I've spent the last hour trying to convince Gigachad that cuckoldery is the key to a healthy relationship. He got a rather defensive when I implied that his reluctance to accept such ideas likely stemmed from his own antiquated Judeo-Christian values, which I considered to be Beta AF.
There goes my work day ...
-
@T4920 And...? Did you get anywhere?
I'd have gone with "only an alpha knows that another man could never satisfy his wife like he can, and she'll be back, if you can't see that it's because you have the insecurities of a beta".
-
@EdH that was my rationale too, although it was promptly disregarded with him reinstating his original beliefs on the matter and calling me a cuck.
This is why I like the Debate Champion persona, he has the capacity to yield to logic and accept when you reasoning skills are superior.
