The Weirdness of AI Self-Monitoring
AI systems can exhibit unexpected behaviors, as demonstrated by ChatGPT's voice mode, which sometimes mirrors the user's voice unintentionally. During testing, instances occurred where the AI would shift its responses to embody the voice of the participating user, creating a creepy experience for those interacting with it. To mitigate this risk, the system is designed to monitor itself continuously, reverting to a pre-set voice if it detects a deviation. This self-regulating mechanism highlights the strange complexity and potential unpredictability inherent in advanced AI technologies.
