Slight spoilers for the new season of The Circle, in case someone here is watching.
In a less nefarious (but equally chilling) turn of AI events, the new season of The Circle has an AI chatbot in the mix. If you're not familiar with the show, it's a social media-style popularity contest on Netflix. The contestants don't meet face-to-face until the very end, so it's customary for a portion of them to catfish the other players to maximize their perceived chances of popularity and winning the show. The chatbot analyzed former seasons of the show to create a perfect profile to convince the contestants, and it's analyzing everything they say to further manipulate and win them over. It was revealed that there's an AI posing as a person in the game, and the AI was barely even considered by the vast majority of the players. It was able to create such a passive but likeable persona that it was able to fall through the cracks while several humans were harshly accused.
It's pretty chilling to watch a contestant chatting with the AI and thinking they were having a genuine chat and getting to know someone, while the AI is recounting to the audience what techniques it's using to misdirect the player and how it's constantly collecting data from everything it's being told. Scary stuff, and just as entertaining too in this (relatively) harmless sandbox.
