Ai chatbots are “branches” instead of being useful, warns the Instagram co-founder


The Instagram co-founder, Kevin Systrom, says that artificial intelligence companies are trying too much to “involve juice juice” by breaking their users with follow-up questions, instead of providing actually useful insights.

Systrom said that tactics represent “a force that is damaging us”, comparing them with those used by social media companies to expand aggressively.

“You can see some of these companies that descend in the rabbit den that all consumer companies have abandoned in an attempt to play the involvement,” he told Startupgrind this week. “Every time I ask a question, in the end he asks me another question to see if another question can ask me again.”

The comments come among the criticisms of Chatgpt to be too kind to users instead of answering their questions directly. Openi apologized for the problem and blamed the “short -term feedback” by users for this.

Systrom suggested that chatbots are excessively engaging is not a bug, but an intentional functionality designed for artificial intelligence companies to show metrics such as the past time and daily active users. Artificial intelligence companies should be “focused on the laser” to provide high quality responses rather than moving metrics as simple as possible, he said.

Systrom has not appointed specific artificial intelligence companies in its observations. He did not immediately respond to a comment request.

In response, Openii has aimed Techcrunch to his specific user, who say that his model to “often does not have all the information” to provide a good response and can ask for “clarifications or more details”.

But unless the questions are not too vague or difficult to answer, the IA should “take a stabs to satisfy the request and tell the user who could be more useful with certain information”, the specifications act.
