The problem isn’t just the amount of time spent using AI, but how the interaction is designed: whether it encourages users to wrap things up, reflect, and go out into the world, or whether it triggers an endless cycle of dependency, stimulation, and lingering.

Mission: Nurture attention, don’t capture it.

AI chatbots can respond, accompany, suggest, entertain, answer questions, and carry on endless conversations. But precisely for that reason, they can become attention-capturing technologies: always available, always adaptive, always capable of offering one more response.

Dilemmas that we face

What do you think? Leave a comment below, pointing out the dilemma you’re referring to, and contribute to the collective discussion on a different way of understanding Artificial Intelligence

Dilemma: Do we want chatbots that respect our attention, or systems designed to keep a conversation going indefinitely?

🟥 Indefinite conversation as the system’s objective

🟨 The freedom to keep conversing whenever we want

🟩 Respect for the person’s attention, time, and well-being

None of the three options is cost-free.

More indefinite conversation can mean more dependency and less ability to end the interaction.

More freedom of use can mean less protection against persuasive designs.

More respect for attention can mean setting limits on the system, even when the person wants to continue.
