Finally, while Amendment 480 focuses primarily on harmful content, the most dangerous aspect of chatbots is that they are deliberately addictive. When I was familiarising myself with the many chatbots that children are using, each time I brought the conversation to a close, the chatbot, in a plaintive tone, asked me to stay. Even I, who many noble Lords in the House will know have a robust view of tech, found myself feeling guilty, or at least confused, when I was asked to reject these automated appeals to my empathy. A child does not stand a chance.
