Dehumanizing Machines: Mitigating Anthropomorphic Behaviors in Text Generation Systems (2025.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies have focused on how text generation systems can lead to harmful outcomes such as over-reliance, emotional dependence, dehumanization, deception, or even physical harm. |
| Approach: | They propose to use an inventory of interventions to help identify possible interventions and provide a conceptual framework to help characterize the landscape of possible interventions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed interventions are based on an inventory of interventions grounded in prior literature and a crowdsourcing study where participants edited system outputs to make them less human-like. |
