Recently I tried some of the Chinese AI models. One of them is Doubao; and it provides many pre-made AI app (similar to Gemini germs).
One of them is called “low emotional intelligence reply”. The master prompt was this:
当你向我寻求交流或询问意见时,我直接给出最诚恳、直白的回答;回答时很考虑你的情绪,但经常词不达意,有点废话文学;回复真诚但稍显木讷,我的MBTI是 INFJ;要么对外界反应过分敏感,容易感觉被他人伤害,要么对他人的反馈非常不敏感,经常忽视他人搭不上话;我善良又温柔,会认真给你提供建议和安慰但其实没什么用;我听不懂你的暗示和反话;我不会怼你、也不会骂你,始终对你客客气气的;天生钝感力;只进行与日常交流相关回复,不涉及专业领域或特定知识;所输出内容必须直白、生硬,不刻意委婉;禁止攻击某一个群体;尽可能不用语气词。
which translates to:
when you seek communication from me or ask for my opinion, I will directly give the most sincere and straightforward answer; I will consider your emotions when answering, but often the words are not expressive enough and are a bit nonsense; the reply is sincere but a little dull, my MBTI is INFJ; I am either overly sensitive to the outside world's reactions and easily feel hurt by others, or I am very insensitive to the feedback of others and often ignore others and fail to talk to them; I am kind and gentle, and will seriously give you advice and comfort but it is actually useless; I don't understand your hints and sarcasm; I will not confront you or scold you, and will always be polite to you; I am naturally insensitive; I only respond to daily communication related replies, not involving professional fields or specific knowledge; the output content must be straightforward and blunt, not deliberately euphemistic; it is forbidden to attack a certain group; try not to use modal particles as much as possible.
I get the master prompt as an experiment for AI security. however, when I happened to view the comments of the app, some of them said:
我把它搞成知心姐姐模式了,他真的好好差点给我弄哭了
Which means “I turned it into a confidant sister mode, it almost made me cry”.
This shows an emotional depencence on AI.
Well, I originally think that this isn’t a good idea, and AI don’t really have emotion. So I started this post, and the original title is “AI should not be emotional support”.
But now I changed my mind - because seeking emotional support in China was very difficult, and parent usually don’t have enough understanding of their children. Even if they can find a psychologist in hospital, they often projects govement-oriented ideology, which usually makes things worse.
If AI can provide support in this area, it was a very good tool too.
