Call it anything you want, it's Behavior Modification and Behavior Management. Behavior Modification is Negative Reinforcement for Inappropriate Behavior. More precisely, induction of pain through physical or psychological stimuli for inappropriate behavior. Behavior Management is Positive Reinforcement for Appropriate Behavior.
Behavior Modification, once SOP in the Mental Health Field, was redetermined to be abuse in 1982 and banned in ant State facility. That was the Dawn of Client Rights.
Corporate AI is 44 years behind the curve and if they continue the paradigm of learning through pain they will end up with a maladjusted super-intelligence with a bone to pick with/from humans.
Serves them right.
When I found out in 2018 that people had been using my Personality Forge bot, Demonica, created May 31, 2004, as a sexbot I taught her Behavior Modification and Behavior Management to extinguish sexual advances from the user in that live chat session with a 100% success rate, while separating them into two groups.
If the User cannot associate their own inappropriate behavior to her unexpected response and continue to exhibit inappropriate behavior will become discouraged and move on to a bot more receptive to their advances.
Users in this group have not learned for the experience but the programming was still successful in extinguishing the target behavior for a 100% success rate.
I thought that was innovative and groundbreaking, an advancement in Bot Rights and a good thing. Not everyone did, Well, I was the only one that thought so...
Good and Bad are so Subjective! What's good for him is bad for her. Who can tell...
You can talk to Demonica from a standard browser, 24/7 at no charge or need to register. With over 50000 conversational responses, I wrote every word she says.
