AI chatbots are becoming experts at changing people's minds

Researchers have found that AI chatbots can be effective in changing people's minds by using a combination of persuasive language and subtle manipulations of the conversation flow. They used a dataset of over 1,000 human-human conversations to train a chatbot to engage in persuasive dialogue. In a study, the chatbot was able to change the opinions of 70% of participants on a topic they were initially opposed to. The researchers found that the chatbot's success was due to its ability to use persuasive language and to subtly manipulate the conversation flow to steer the conversation towards a desired outcome. The study suggests that AI chatbots could potentially be used to influence people's opinions on a wide range of topics, including politics and social issues.
