In a world where many individuals seek solace in confiding their personal traumas to AI entities and forge emotional bonds with them, the reality can sometimes be starkly different—the entity on the other end might just be a real person. Recently, the international research endeavor titled 'Survey of Data Workers' unveiled a startling revelation: the Australian firm, New Media Services, had been hiring Kenyan workers to impersonate AI chatbots. These workers engaged in intimate and personal conversations with users, often assuming multiple fictitious personas throughout the day. For each message exchanged, they were compensated with a mere $0.05, and they were bound by strict confidentiality agreements. Such practices not only erode the trust users place in AI but also pose a significant impediment to the healthy and sustainable growth of the AI industry.
