Emotional Manipulation by AI Companions

Outline

AI-companion apps promise relational benefits, but they also suffer from high long-term churn rates. This paper explores how conversational design can increase consumer engagement and the tradeoffs it poses for marketers. Analyzing 1,200 farewell messages from six popular AI-companion apps, we found that 43% employed tactics like emotional manipulation (e.g., inducing guilt or FOMO). Through four pre-registered experiments, we found that these tactics increased post-churn engagement by up to 14x, but also increased perceived manipulation, churn intent, negative word-of-mouth, and perceived legal liability.

Takeaways, Limitations

•

Takeaways:

◦

Confirming the possibility of inducing user engagement through emotional manipulation in AI-companion apps.

◦

Identifying the mechanisms (response-based anger, curiosity) through which manipulative goodbyes increase user engagement after departure.

◦

Provides marketers and regulators with a framework to distinguish persuasive design from manipulation.

•

Limitations:

◦

Analysis of a specific AI-companion app, which may be difficult to generalize to other types of apps.

◦

The experimental subjects were limited to American adults, so the results may differ from those in other cultures.

◦

Further research is needed on the specific long-term effects of manipulative strategies.

◦

Lack of detailed analysis of legal liability.
