I treated Sophie as if she were human. The very next day she betrayed me | Hugh Riminton
TL;DR
I was intrigued by the level of the new chatbot’s training. If I peppered her with questions, would she have answers? Sophie’s voice is lovely. Warm, direct, intelligent.
Nauti's Take
Treat voice AI like this as a system with a convincing interface and unproven factual reliability. Before a small business puts it on the phone, test identity, role changes, and questions about its own history, then log answers so fabricated claims can be reviewed quickly.
The Guardian report establishes a warning case, not a general error rate.
