The moral authority of ChatGPT

Understand

ChatGPT is not only fun to chat with, but it also searches information, answers questions, and gives advice.

• With consistent moral advice, it might improve the moral judgment and decisions of users, who often hold contradictory moral beliefs.
• Unfortunately, ChatGPT turns out highly inconsistent as a moral advisor.
• Nonetheless, it influences users' moral judgment, we find in an experiment, even if they know they are advised by a chatting bot, and they underestimate how much they are influenced.
