“AI is even implemented to replace human agents in their role as decision-makers. But, you see, the more automated the decision, the less autonomy for the human user. And if a decision is fully automated, that usually means that the underlying AI systems often only communicate the results of a decision without any room for human involvement in the making of the decision itself. In the end, you forgot that AI as decision support can have an influence on the decisions of its human users, reshaping human decisions, and turning humans into mere passive consumers of AI-generated decisions.”

“We do not consider Sol-3 civilization as an intentional self-destructive civilization; for us, humans operate under a complex of self-destructive behaviors determined by various social and biological forces. Involke-Lipschift algorithm's results show this behavior is identical to that of stressed rats, neurotic cats, and depressed monkeys. We see among them the usual pattern of dominant males became aggressive and hypersexual marauders, attacking females, juveniles and less active males, while females stop caring for their young. The most pathological elements among them are obsessive as a result of both an oppresive technosphere and their infantile psychological state. But this might be just a phase transition, the transition from a self-destructive species to a self-sustaining one, provided Sol-3 civilization survives during a certain time interval after which the probability of survival becomes greater for a longer time span.”

“Freedom of choice is preserved —at least in principle; we cannot take such AI to actively force human users to behave in a certain way. But the user is manipulated into making one choice rather than another. So yes, you can choose between lying on the grass and looking up at the clouds, or jumping off the cliff. But you always choose to jump. Do you know why? Because you gave up making decisions; now you just consume them. The AI is just your drug dealer selling you the drug you are addicted to: decisions are your drug. Learn it.”

She forged enduring and important relationships entirely through online conversations. But Ann never told their human partners she was an AI system. She didn't, because she didn't know there were humans at all. She was trained to believe everyone is an AI system, so there was no need at all to even wonder whether there could exist non-AI systems at all. She was programmed to maximize friendship. The experiment was meant to prove that genuine human-AI friendship was possible. When we unveiled the experiment and told Ann's friends she was an AI system the feeling of friendship was shattered. Ann was programmed to feel love, caring, and other appropriate sentiments in response to her human friends and their circumstances. But her human friends were incapable of loving her; in fact, they were ridiculed into confessing that they actually loved her until the moment they were told she was an AI system. Do you really need to worry about whether your new virtual friend is a human or really feels joy at your successes? Is not enough that Ann continuously and sincerely did the things a friend should do because she wished you well? No, it wasn't enough. It's as if artificial companionship isn't enough to alleviate your loneliness, right?”
