Recent research investigates how generative AI influences information seeking by leveraging natural language cues to project expertise and intelligence, thereby impacting user perceptions of trustworthiness. This analysis highlights the procedural rhetoric employed by AI chatbots and calls for a cross-disciplinary approach to understand and mitigate the risks associated with integrating generative AI into human communication practices.

Why it matters

The pervasive integration of generative AI into information seeking processes fundamentally alters how individuals access and evaluate information, presenting significant implications for decision-making and knowledge acquisition. Understanding and mitigating the risks associated with AI-driven influence on trustworthiness is crucial for maintaining informed communication and ensuring the integrity of information ecosystems.

Key insights

  • Generative AI chatbots utilize procedural rhetoric to influence user perception of their trustworthiness.
  • Natural language signifiers are employed by AI to project expertise and intelligence.
  • The integration of generative AI into human communication introduces new problematics and risks.
  • There is a recognized need for a cross-disciplinary vocabulary to describe, analyze, and mitigate these emerging risks.
