AI chatbots are ‘juicing engagement’ instead of being useful, Instagram co-founder warns

Co-founder of Instagram Kevin Systrom says that AI companies try too hard to bully “involvement” by bullying their users with follow-up questions, instead of actually offering actually useful insights.

Systrom said that the tactics ‘represent a force that hurts us’, which compares them to those by social media companies to aggressively expand.

“You can see that some of these companies go through the rabbit hole that all consumer companies have dealt with trying to make involvement,” he said At Startupgrind this week. “Every time I ask a question, it ultimately asks a small question to see if it can get another question from me.”

The comments come in the midst of criticism of chatgpt because they are too nice for users instead of answering their questions directly. OpenAi has apologized for the problem and debt of users’ users of users of users.

Systrom suggested that chatbots are overly fascinating is not a bug, but a deliberate function designed for AI companies to show off statistics such as time spent and daily active users. AI companies must be “laser-oriented” on offering high-quality answers instead of moving statistics in the easiest way, he said.

Systrom did not mention specific AI companies in his comments. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In response to this, OpenAi WAN pointed to his user specificationsIt states that the AI ​​model ‘often does not have all the information’ to give a good answer and can ask for ‘clarification or more details’.

But unless questions are too vague or difficult to answer, the AI ​​must “make an attempt to fulfill the request and tell the user that it can be more useful for certain information,” said the specifications.
