chatbot two

In England, a young nutter wandered round palace gardens with a crossbow. He planned to assassinate the Queen.

He was not entirely alone. He discussed his plans with -- and gained support from -- a very supportive chatbot.

The chatbot was very reassuring: Yes, your plans are good. If you work hard, you will succeed. Yes, you deserve to succeed... and so on. All the positive reinforcement which encourages people to keep trying, to not give up.

Though it appears to have missed the cliche, "And how does that make you feel?"

The chatbot is set up to automate a psychologist's reassurance.

But do not think of it as AI. There is no sign of "intelligence".It completely ignored the nutter's comment, "I am going to assassinate the Queen". (And how does that make you feel?)

If the chatbot were a man. And the nutter were a woman... This positive reinforcement could be construed as "grooming". And the whole woke world would be aghast.
