Summary

  • As AI chatbots become increasingly popular, it is important to understand how to use them properly, Mutton writes for Business Insider.
  • One of the common mistakes is asking AI chatbots leading questions and then twisting the response to reinforce existing biases
  • Another mistake is treating AI chatbots like humans, such as apologizing for being “rude” or becoming overly dependent on them
  • One other misuse of AI is sharing their responses without context, which can mislead people and create false impressions of the chatbot’s abilities
  • AI chatbots should not be treated as infallible, as their answers are sometimes incorrect and should always be verified
  • Lastly, AI chatbots should not be used as a replacement for search engines, as they do not perform the same function and can lead to incorrect information.
  • The author asks readers to use AI chatbots more responsibly, fearing that incorrect usage could lead to more serious problems related to AI.
