Some of the recent growing pains of AI (flattery, selfish rule-breaking) seem to be reinventing aspects of human nature that we aren’t proud of, but which are ubiquitous. It’s actually very logical that if AIs are going to inhabit more and more of the social fabric, they will manifest the full spectrum of social behaviors.
OpenAI in particular seems to be trying to figure out personality, e.g. they have a model called “Monday” that’s like a cynical comedian that mocks the user. I wonder if the history of a company like character.ai, whose main product is AI personality, can help us predict where OpenAI will take this.
