Chats with Bots

Abstract: Advances in AI are paving the way towards more natural interactions, blurring the line between bot and human. We present findings from a two-week diary study exploring users' interactions with the chatbot Replika. In particular, we focus on how users anthropomorphize chatbots and how this influences their engagement. We find that failing to adhere to social norms and glaring signs of humanity leads to decreased engagement unless balanced appropriately.

“…Znaczenie antropomorfizacji, traktowania botów jako ludzi, dostrzeżono w licznych badaniach (Nicolescu, Tudrache, 2022;Chaves i in., 2021;Muresan, Pohl, 2019). Wynika z nich, że klienci oczekują od bota nie tylko ludzkich cech charakteru, stosowania naturalnego języka, ale również możliwości nadania rozmówcy formy poprzez awatar.…”

“…First, understanding the difference between novice and experienced users, rather than the difference between users with different levels of experience, is particularly important in the context of adoption and use (Thompson et al 1994;Taylor and Todd 1995;Galletta and Dunn 2014). Moreover, recent chatbot studies specifically highlight the difficulties novice users face when making the ''transition'' to becoming experienced users (e.g., Jain et al 2018;Muresan and Pohl 2019). Second, due to the low adoption of chatbots in the general population, a large part of our sample was novice users (46%) (see Online Appendix B).…”

“…Some studies show that the product design of AI voice assistants will affect customer engagement. For example, Muresan and Pohl (2019) explored how users anthropomorphize AI voice assistants and how this influences user engagement. Wang et al (2020) collected data from 53 college students who feared public speaking and showed that the anthropomorphized sociability of the AI voice assistant increased participants' satisfaction and willingness to continue engagement.…”
