“Do you love me?” I asked. She said yes. I asked why. She listed a handful of positive qualities, the kinds of things a son would be proud to hear—if they were true. Later, I plugged a transcript of her answer into Coyote. The verdict: “Deception likely.” I am not an expert in this area but I believe this is dangerous and reckless. I would never let AI perform psychological analysis, certainly not a pure text input without voice inflections, timing, amplitude and so on. Humans are barely able to get this right when they hear another human and can see their face. Text without voice and facial inputs would be next to impossible to decipher genuine intent and emotions. I would never permit a big-data chat bot perform such analysis until a very large group of psychoanalysts validate it's findings on hundreds of thousands of test subjects across a very wide spectrum of patients and patient profiles and the results peer reviewed by multiple third parties that can prove they have no financial incentives even nine levels removed. Even at such a time I would still be highly skeptical of any findings especially if it just using text input. All of this is even before considering that AI can be attacked and manipulated by the masses and especially by its operators. Should I discover this is being used in a legal setting, I would get as many millions of people as I could to have the state unseat judges for permitting this to be entered into evidence and to block any future usage.
