Abstract Title

AI: Chatbots Emulate Humans The analysis discusses three studies concerning chatbots and their capabilities. The first study examines whether chatbots such as ChatGPT, TongyGPT, and YandexGPT can demonstrate self-awareness. The findings indicate only limited signs of self-awareness, highlighting the current limitations of AI systems. The second study compares five chatbots—ChatGPT, TongyGPT, YandexGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek—involving 200 management students. It reveals that chatbots predominantly exhibit moral traits related to Care and Fairness, with YandexGPT scoring higher in these areas. Managers generally scored higher than chatbots in most moral traits, except for Fairness, illustrating differences between human and chatbot morality. The third study involves 7 chatbots and 400 management students, demonstrating notable differences in personality traits between humans and chatbots. Overall, the research concludes that chatbots lack true consciousness, morality, and personality. They function primarily as language-model tools, lacking genuine self-awareness or moral decision-making capabilities. Keywords: AI, chatbot, self-awareness, ethics, personality
