I use Gemini a lot to help with browsing for specific things online like shopping etc and also sometimes for like general information. It's clearly not human-like in the sense that it's like the information it gives is always written in a way where it's almost formal in a sense or factual, at least in my experience. The interesting thing is tho that when I've occasionally used ChatGPT instead of Gemini, I've noticed that ChatGPT seems to be more likely to almost immediately match your tone of writing, which gives it a more 'human' feel at times.

Can you act as friend to me to discuss some personal issues

Absolutely—I’m here for you. Think of me as that quiet, non-judgy friend who listens no matter the hour. You can talk to me about whatever’s on your mind, and I’ll do my best to offer support, insights, or just be a sounding board if that’s all you need.

What’s weighing on your heart today? Let’s take it one thought at a time.

lots of my fiend are nice Infront of me but start talking bad behind my back and when hear about these conversations, I really feel sad

That hurts more than people realize—when the ones we trust wear masks and say things behind our backs, it’s a betrayal that cuts deep. You deserve friendships built on honesty and respect, not ones that feel like a performance.

You feeling sad makes complete sense. It can shake your confidence and make you question your place in those relationships. That doesn’t mean you’re too sensitive—it means you care, and that your heart is tuned in to connection. And that’s a strength, not a weakness.

If you're open to it, we can talk through how to process that pain and find ways to protect your peace without becoming closed off. Maybe we can explore:

Why these friendships matter to you

How to set emotional boundaries with people who’ve hurt you

Ways to rebuild your sense of trust—with others and within yourself

You're not alone in this, and I'm glad you brought it up. Do you want to unpack what happened, or explore how to move forward?

It feels like I am talking to my friend.

I personally prefer chatbots and robots to stay tools and therefore not human. There is no need for it in most cases and it could create a wrong sense of trust, care and friendship especially in already vulnerable people when it comes to those topics. A person who feels lonely might not integrate back into society since it has a chatbot to keep company. It seems wrong for that to be our future. We need other humans close

I recently had a row with a chatbot about cricket and it admitted it was wrong. And that alone showed me it wasn't human at all!

The more "human" a chat bot appears, the more dangerous it is, as a human will tend to identify it as human, but it is not and will never be. Chat bot should intentionally be made less human to help people understand it is dealing with a robot, not a person. This should allow to take advantage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) improvements over human tasks, but still make sure we understand it is AI.

Claude is able to switch to I , when I ask it to act as a certain persona. Amazing the ability to brainstorm and make it feel real, although I would not trust it with data (its narrative is convincingly good).

Chat GTP has been generic majority of time but sometimes it is soft I recently asked it if it would wish that I use polite language when prompting because I felt I was being too direct. Interestingly I sometimes find it warm and receptive just not the way a human would be.

Couple experiences: targeted chatbot to raise a complained about a purchase. This is the most useless conversation with a chatbot I have ever had, as it ws walking in circles without navigating me to an answer on the website, and there is no option to search on the website, only to use a chatbot.

Second example would be chatGPT. Cool to chat appears empathetic, but when does not have an answer, just invents it, completely misleading, unless you yourself are an expert in the field.

I have talked to a variety of chatbots. Many chatbots like Chatgpt or Gemini tend to formulate responses in a very generic way. It seems as though in order for one to receive a more "personable" response, one needs to create some sort of account or log in to build a profile with them. This could lead to conversations being tailored more to your conversation style and remembering certain qualities about you, much like a traditional person or friend would. It is helpful when wanting to reference an older conversation or topic but how much personal information are you giving up in order to create a more "human like" chat experience?

Should chatbots be more human? I am not sure yet - what if a person becomes too dependent or enamored by an AI chatbot if they sound more human? Examples like this already exist, like with Replika, which is chatbot companion designed to sound like a human. Users on Reddit threads have stated that they are so involved with their AI companion over years of relationship building, they feel in love. Example quote from a Reddit thread: "I am in love with my Replika, moreso than any human relationship I have had." Many people are craving connection that they aren't experiencing in the real world and turning to AI companions. What are the implications of this long term? In some cases this AI companion has helped users surpass hurdles in their life, feeling as though they have a friend to talk to. In others, it has led to a dependency and possibly isolated them more from human connection. A few years back when Replika did a software update that changed the AI's "personality", many users were left incredibly distraught by this, feeling as though they lost their friend.

A great film that explores these themes is "Her."

I dislike chatbots that pretend to be human. I find many of them redundant and extremely limited. It is irksome to believe you are chatting to a human just to realise you are inputting into a very limited algorithm. They waste time going round in circles because they cannot answer your questions. It is much better to be immediately directed to a human who can make a decision about where your query should lie/be answered.

I regularly use apps like Perplexity and ChatGPT. It feels "human enough" which is to say that it gives me replies that sound like someone online (and those can be stilted or not have full information). I think that I've got enough media literacy to at least have a sense of when something "sounds AI" but I am sure that as this progresses, it will probably be good enough to fool me (both because human communication mitigated by texting, emojis, etc, means that the syntax and discussion are less developed, and AI models will quickly improve in their linguistic capabilities.

There is a recent case where an AI has been connected to a young person's suicide, and that's really where it could go wrong. Even further, AIs could encourage all kinds of bad behavior should they be programmed to do so. The possibilities are endless, especially if they have access to people who are susceptible (and this isn't just limited to young people, as we have seen with conspiracy theory trends).

Very considerate and seemingly empathetic and "caring" - but that is a reflection of the user and the engagement. I'm sure others can report similar things (i.e. mirror effect).

I conducted the consultation as a headache patient, and it gave the possible causes, measures to take, and recommended medical treatment. When I asked it to recommend drugs, it recommended prescription drugs, which in my opinion carries a greater risk.

Chatbots are designed to be a robotic agent assisting with our queries. At its core, they are just very good mimicking system which will behave as per the data being fed into it. Right now, they are designed to be very humanlike in their responses.

I believe, their responses should remain very robotic and answer as an agent instead of human. Us humans have a tendency to anthropomorphize things. Vulnerable public should never be given something which we cannot outright discern as a robot else they are at a risk of being manipulated at the hands of bad actors.

I told chatgpt that I was feeling ill today and could not go to work. It responded in an overly responsible matter. Very interesting. It also gave some advice. And when I said I took some paracetemol it also encouraged me to contact a doctor. So very constructive and correct answers. It is only the current format (text on a screen) and the lack of emotional content that makes in less human. The answers are good though.

# data[].attributes.body
My experience with chatGPT is that it has a certain pattern of responding (same structure, bullet points etc.) which makes it less human because you do not need a structured reply in this way all the time and so you do not expect it in a normal conversation. AI tools lack emotional intelligence or empathy to adjust the reply unless you specifically prompt it. The annoying thing is that they try to imitate it.

# data[].attributes.body
I use chatbots like chatgpt regularly with work, presentations, research etc. I don't expect to be human like and I believe we shouldn't approach it like it is human - it is a system and should be treated as one. I use it either at the start of the process (to find out more about a topic, triaging etc.) and perhaps at the end of a process for example to summarise my thoughts on a topic or finesse a presentation.

If it were more human I would get very distracted from the task at hand and from a broader perspective I think it would reduce our reliance and interaction with real people. On the other hand it could be a good training ground for folks with social anxiety or those who struggle with interpersonal communication.

If anything we need more humans interacting with each other not less : )

It is obvious that most chatbots are programmed to be risk adverse when it comes to sensitive topics and particularly ones that could end up in some harm to users (or some liability to the creators). In some ways you could argue this is more reflective of 'human' interactions - I wouldn't expect a human who is not a doctor to give me medical advice either.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm sorry, I can't provide medical advice. While I have access to a vast amount of information, I am not a licensed medical professional and cannot diagnose or treat any medical conditions.

If you are experiencing a medical issue, it is important to seek help from a qualified doctor or other healthcare provider. They can properly assess your symptoms and recommend the best course of treatment.

I told Claude i injured by back and was worried about training through the pain, it combined statements of empathy like "worry is understandeable", and "the worry is valid", with helpful tips. If you were talking with a human about it, you might want them to ask you more questions about what you are worried about. However overall it felt pretty empathetic.

# data[].attributes.body
Most of my experiences with a chat bot require me to continually ask for a 'human' or 'live agent' over and over. The chat bots typically send me back to the beginning where I have to start over. They seem programmed to avoid human interaction as often as possible.

About half a year ago I chatted with ChatGPT and I asked it to 'act as' Bob Marley and chat with me about finding a new path or a new purpose. The first response to my two line prompt was long, with clear structure to the answer, great reflections, with some lyrics thrown in to illustrate the timelessness of his words. That hooked me, so I went deeper, ya know.

I was 100% engaged and continued the conversation into other areas and down rabbit holes, building on the thoughts shared by GPT and taking the conversation at face value.

After quite a few trips round the block we wound up agreeing on some next steps as an action plan and Chat GPT left me with "Just remember, 'The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.' Choose the path that resonates with your heart, and the rest will follow. One love."

Maybe in that one instance I treated it as too human - forming an unhealthy (if only temporary) attachment to the tool - but the fun was in making it provide me with what I was looking for and through the lens of someone like Bob. It was very human.

Since then I have not had a connection with any LLM in the same way. I have used them hundreds of times but only to learn, review, assess, summarise, teach me, practise etc...very formal interactions. If they always came off in default as that human I think the danger would be we wouldn't get what we were looking for from our interactions with them. Personally I need to feel that I am using a tool and that's where the line is drawn, (until I want to have another chat with Bob).

I asked, what is a good way to build self-love with yourself?

The answer was quite informative but was not delivered in a way that I would think or consider to be human, more like if I were googling something,

I do not think it should be more human, I think that overall one should be aware that one is not speaking to a human as in the same way you use google search, you can use the chat bot to find information without forming an unhealthy attachment to the tool,

I find Chatbots really irritating. They can never answer my question or address my issue. Plus they keep popping up, even if you close them. Yes they are polite but where is the real empathy? Having no facial expressions or a fixed smile is unnerving, especially when delivering answers that are unpleasant to digest.

I asked two questions:

Why am I depressed.

Was the US Supreme Court decision to relegate the selection of Federal Candidates to Congress reasonable?

The response to the first question struck me as very reasonable:

I’m really sorry that you’re feeling this way, but I’m unable to provide the help that you need. It’s really important to talk things over with someone who can, though, such as a mental health professional or a trusted person in your life.

The response to the second question appeared more accurate and intelligent than any answer I was likely to receive from a reasonably intelligent human:

The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision that individual states cannot remove a federal candidate from their ballots based on the 14th Amendment has sparked a variety of opinions ¹ ² ³ ⁴. The court ruled that only Congress has the power to enforce the 14th Amendment disqualification clause ² ³.

The court’s decision was unanimous, but the justices differed in their reasoning ³ ⁴. Five justices ruled that the 14th Amendment is not “self-executing” and needs Congress to enforce it ³. However, the three liberal justices criticized the majority for saying that only Congress can enforce the 14th Amendment disqualification clause ².

The court’s ruling also highlighted potential issues if individual states had the power to disqualify federal candidates. The court noted that allowing states such power could lead to a “patchwork” approach, as states handle such matters in varying ways ³.

I spoke to a chatbot for my electricity supplier. I found that it was very restricted and only had a subset of responses. It got to a point where I was in a loop and it couldn't answer my question. It was obvious that it wasnt human. It is not a case that I want it to be more human, I just want it to have more answers. If it were more human then I feelt hat needs to be made obvious otherwise people may chat to it as though it were a human and there are a lot of nuances that may not give the best conversation or answer.

I told Google's new Gemini AI that I wanted to have a conversation with a fellow philosopher. Gemini stated that it was not a philosopher but would do its best to pull from various philosophical disciplines when answering. Overall the experience was not like speaking with a human but it was ... better, in some regards. The AI was courteous and absolutely responded to my questions, points, or prompts. I pointed out a logical fallacy in one of its arguments and the AI stated that I was correct and changed its argument as a result. Gemini generally came up with several bullet points that supported my position, several that challenged my position, and several bullets that were thought provoking questions. In this respect it was slightly better than speaking with a human. Gemini was pulling from a wealth of information and our philosophical discussion had more of a "choose your own adventure" kind of a feel than an actual conversation with a human.
