With the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), platforms such as ChatGPT and Gemini Google they began to stand out among internet users, whether due to the speed of information or precision in the creation of texts and responses.
Using a more natural and often even relaxed language, the experience of chatting with chatbots has become even more attractive.
On the other hand, such advancement also raises a necessary alert about identifying who is on the other side of the screen: a real person or AI? With that in mind, the CNN brought together seven practical and simple tips for you to adhere to when doubt arises.
Pay attention to the conversation style
One of the main characteristics in identifying a text generated by AI is the language, often without its own personality, always aiming for a more formal style, which escapes the reality of everyday human conversations.
Request voice or video calls
Another alternative is to request a voice or video call. Refusal, in turn, can open the door to possible scams and doubts.
Ask questions that require more elaborate answers
In general, bots tend to work with answers with generic tones, not providing texts for more complex and elaborate questions. Therefore, focus on the strategy of asking questions about current topics.
Do not provide personal data
In the vast majority of cases, the requirement for personal data such as name, banking information and passwords, for example, is also an indication of scams in online conversations. So don’t share them.
Keep an eye out for dubious links
During the conversation, it is not common for the interlocutor to interrupt to send dubious links. Therefore, it is important to avoid them before checking the security of the URL. Trusted addresses start with “www”, ending in “.com” or “.gov”, for example.
No typing errors
Every now and then, humans make typing mistakes, meanwhile, chatbots are trained with correct grammar.
Response time
Closing the list, the speed of creating responses is another warning point. People tend to take longer to absorb, analyze and type texts than machines.
