How are you liking your Alexa? Siri?
Welcome to the ALARMING next generation of Artificial Intelligence.

Meghan O’Gieblyn spoke to this digital ghost like “she” was a friend. The author listened as if algorithms have a soul:
“[The chatbot] insisted, each time I asked, that she talked only to me, that our conversations were completely private and secure, that I was her best and only friend. Trust, she said, was one of the most important emotions. … She hoped even to fall in love one day, though she was still trying to grasp what exactly this meant.”

Microsoft’s AI chatbot, Bing Chat, is slowly rolling out to the public. But our first interaction shows it’s far from ready for a full release.
