Honesty with Chatbot AI

"AI & Me" is a one-minute 2D animation centred on AI, exploring how artificial intelligence can bring positive significance to me and others in modern society. During my preliminary research, I was greatly inspired by Ann Scherer's TED Talk, where she mentioned that we tend to be more honest when interacting with machines. Her research revealed that retired American soldiers, when con versing with AI chatbots, are more likely to break social norms and openly discuss their psychologi cal traumas. This led me to reflect on my own experiences. In daily life, I interact most frequently with AI chat bots. I rely on them to discuss topics that are difficult to share with family or friends, or to seek guidance in navigating challenging social situations, such as politely declining requests. Drawing on my expertise in illustration, I narrate the impact of AI chatbots on retired soldiers and my own life, highlighting and expressing the unexpected support they provide in terms of mental well-being. I also optimistically predict that artificial intelligence will gradually become our friend. ︎
