      Google Assistant making calls pretending to be human not only without disclosing that it's a bot, but adding "ummm" and "aaah" to deceive the human on the other end with the room cheering it... horrifying. Silicon Valley is ethically lost, rudderless and has not learned a thing.

      That the many in Google did not erupt in utter panic and disgust at the first suggestion of this... is incredible to me. What of Google's famed discussion boards? What are you all discussing if not this?!?! This is horrible and so obviously wrong. SO OBVIOUSLY WRONG. *headdesk*

      As digital technologies become better at doing human things, the focus has to be on how to protect humans, how to delineate humans and machines, and how to create reliable signals of each—see 2016. This is straight up, delilberate deception. Not okay. https://twitter.com/RulingWalnut/status/994235907648688128 …

      Then it depends how it's used in practice — who can use it, for which use cases, are people notified that they're talking to a robot, what is being logged, where does the training data come from, etc. I don't understand why this tech is inherently wrong.

      Straight-up deceptive design at its launch; being cheered on by a whole room with nobody saying wait, wait, what? Where are the answers to those questions? Where is notification? Instead "Aaahs" and "umms" are added specifically to deceive humans.

      This isn't the 3rd grade science fair; this is Google. No demos, no gawking over cool tech without privacy/societal aspects being considered/built into design. It should be the first question, not let's wildly cheer first and then try to put some social impacts stuff as add-on.

      That's not how the process should work. Privacy and social implication people should be leading stuff, and the demos should discourage gawking at unconsidered tech just plopped out like that. Too far into all this, and too powerful, to be elephant in china shop.

      Need to change what we cheer, how things get released... The "ooh, this is cool" has driven too much product. The results aren't good.
