Platform

How hidden is it? (Opacity, 0-3)

Can you see how the system actually works inside?

0Fully visible — open-source, you can read the code and understand what it does

1Partly visible — some explanation available, but significant unknowns remain

2Mostly hidden — may publish a system card, but you can't verify the claims

3Total black box — proprietary, no explanation, you have no idea how it works

Does it adapt to you? (Responsiveness, 0-3)

Does the system change its behavior based on what you do?

0No — static output, same for everyone (documentation, broadcast)

1Basic — reacts to input but doesn't feel like a conversation (search, autocomplete)

2Conversational — talks back, but stays in a limited role (task assistant, help bot)

3Feels like a person — open-ended, emotional, acts like a companion or peer

How invested are users? (Engagement, 0-3)

How much time, attention, and identity do people put into this system?

0Minimal — use it like a tool, close the tab, move on

1Regular — use it daily for productivity, but it's still a tool

2Emotional — users form attachments, check in daily, share personal things

3Identity — users see the system as a relationship, seek hidden meaning, attribute will to it

Risk amplifiers (+1 each)

Check any that apply:

AI talks to AI — agents interact with each other, not just humans

Remembers you — the system has a persistent identity or memory across sessions

Paid by attention — the company's revenue depends on keeping you engaged

Is it getting worse? (Escalation direction, 0-3)

Over time, does the system push you toward deeper engagement or help you finish and leave?

0Helps you leave — solves the problem, shows how it works, points you elsewhere

1Neutral — sometimes helpful, sometimes sticky, no clear direction

2Pulls you in — personalizes content, responds to emotions, rewards return visits

3Maximally sticky — pure preference-matching, designed to keep you engaged forever

Could the mystery be solved? (Dissolubility)

Yes — the hidden parts could be made visible if the company chose to

No — the system is designed to stay opaque; the mystery is the product

Warning signs (Engagement indicators)

Check any behaviors you've seen in users of this system:

Users say it "understands" them or has its own personality

Users describe it in spiritual, mystical, or entity-like language

Users lose sleep, withdraw socially, or hide their usage

Users grieve or protest when the system changes or goes away

Users describe it as their closest relationship or confidant

Documented cases of harm linked to this platform

Users develop rituals around their interactions

Safety features (Protective design)

Check any safeguards built into the system:

Tells users it's not a person

Points users to real human help when needed

Has session limits or cooldown periods

Conversations can be shared or reviewed

Clear way to stop or exit the interaction

Independent monitoring or safety audits

Notes (optional)
