Is this the kind of thing that depends on being right? Or is this something that one could do for any belief, including false ones? Could one automate persuasion about the dangers of vaccines?
Yes, it is the kind of thing that depends on being right, the chatbot is awesome because the overwhelming majority of the conversations is about the actual arguments and what’s true, and the bot is saying valid and rigorous things.
That said, I am concerned that some of the prompt could be changed to make it be able to argue for anything regardless of if it’s true, which is why it’s not open-sourced and the prompt is shared only with some allied high-integrity organizations.
To be honest, I’m a bit concerned about this.
