Yesterday i stumbled over a blog post about REPLIKA.AI and their users, that are suffering because they deactivated the 'romance / erotic' chat capabilities. Then i thought, this is an absolute nightmare, that an AI could bring humans to behaviour, that was unthinkable before. Think of AI-addicted humans that are in a relationship with an avatar, that can control them: just like many humans to control other people by emotions alone. That is real threat, that can be undetected for a long time, because no code is involved at all.
