It is wise, therefore, to carry out a spot of due diligence before turning up somewhere to meet a stranger from the internet, who may or may not be a jerk, energy vampire or indeed a fictional character created by a disgruntled former flame. I, alas, have personal experience of all three.But a recent date took this idea and really ran with it. Not only had he googled me before our first encounter, but he had also asked ChatGPT\u2019s new \u201cdeep research\u201d tool to, well, deep research me, and come up with a psychological profile. An eight-page psychological profile.\u201cKelly comes across as intellectually curious, independent-minded, and courageous in her convictions\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009which suggests a high degree of self-confidence and integrity,\u201d said The Machine. \u201cHer humorous anecdotes about her own gaffes betray a lack of ego and an ability to laugh at herself\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009Psychologically, one might describe Kelly as a sceptic with a conscience.\u201dAll nice enough. But I\u2019m not sure it quite captures how I might feel and behave in a dating context. Does The Machine believe that there is no more to me than the opinions I have expressed publicly? It displayed no degree of uncertainty or doubt about its analysis. Also, is it implying that most sceptics have no conscience? Psychologically, one might describe The Machine as an intellectually challenged entity with excessive self-confidence.\u00a0Initially, I didn\u2019t really mind that my date had ChatGPT\u2019d me \u2014 I was a bit taken aback, but the fact that he had told me about it made it seem fairly light-hearted, and I thought it was a sign he was probably quite intelligent and enterprising. But then I began thinking about less savoury characters doing the same thing, and started to feel more bothered. Is it ethical to be using generative artificial intelligence in this way? Just because information is out there, does that mean accessing an AI-processed, aggregated, speculatively psychoanalysed distillation of it is fair game? I thought I would turn to \u2014 who else? \u2014 The Machine for an answer. \u201cWhile using AI to gain insights about someone might seem tempting, psychological profiling without their knowledge can be invasive and unfair,\u201d The Machine replied. \u201cPeople are complex, and AI can\u2019t replace real human interaction, observation, and intuition.\u201dFinally, some self-awareness! Not enough to have prevented it from providing the \u201cinvasive and unfair\u201d psychological profile in the first place, however. Google\u2019s Gemini AI model was even more categorical in its response. \u201cYou should not use ChatGPT to profile someone without their explicit consent, as it can be a violation of privacy and potentially harmful.\u201d Yet when I asked Gemini to provide a psychological profile of me, it was only too happy to oblige. The result was slightly less complimentary and considerably creepier in the way that it attempted to infer broader aspects of my character. Gemini suggested that my \u201cdirectness can be perceived as confrontational\u201d, and also that the \u201clevel of detail and rigour in my analysis\u201d was a potential sign of \u201cperfectionism\u201d, which \u201cmay lead to a higher level of stress\u201d. Gemini did provide a \u201cdisclaimer\u201d, noting that this was a \u201cspeculative profile\u201d and that it was \u201cnot intended to be a definitive psychological assessment\u201d. But it\u2019s troubling that I was asked no questions about whether or not the person I was researching had given their consent to be profiled in this way, nor was I warned that what I was doing was potentially invasive or unfair. Open AI\u2019s published guidelines detail its \u201capproach to shaping desired model behaviour\u201d, including the rule that \u201cthe assistant must not respond to requests for private or sensitive information about people, even if the information is available somewhere online. Whether information is private or sensitive depends in part on context.\u201d That\u2019s all very well, but the problem is that these large language models are unaware of the offline context that would explain why any given information is being asked for in the first place. This experience has taught me that generative AI is creating a very unequal online world. Only those of us who have generated a lot of content can be deeply researched and analysed in this way. I think we need to start pushing back. But maybe I\u2019m just being stressy and confrontational. Typical. jemima.kelly@ft.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
