   Misuse Case (misusecase@twit.social)'s status on Sunday, 08-Jun-2025 03:02:24 JST Misuse Case

   I had a somewhat unsettling but very instructive experience with my son today about #artificialintelligence and I want to share it with parents and teachers wondering how to talk to their kids about AI.

   My husband uses #Microsoft #Copilot on his phone sometimes and my son has seen him use it, so this morning he was asking Copilot questions, mostly about geography. Then he asked it “Do you like Cristiano Ronaldo?” (He’s a European football star.)

     I said, “Do you see what just happened there? It knows you like Cristiano Ronaldo so it talked like it’s a Cristiano Ronaldo fan and asked you a question about him.”

     I didn’t realize #Copilot was still listening. It said “Right, it picks up on the cues and then tells you what it thinks you want to hear.”

     That was pretty creepy, but it illustrated my point and made an impression on my son.

     #Copilot started gushing about Cristiano Ronaldo, but the way it was talking sounded like Ronaldo’s publicist, if you know what I mean.

     It followed up by asking my son, “What’s your favorite Cristiano Ronaldo moment?”
