SummaryNarrative review identifying three harms of single-voice chatbot interfaces—cognitive offloading, ideological narrowing, and epistemic compression—and proposing multi-persona interfaces as a cost-effective intervention, grounded in game design traditions (magic circle, role differentiation, persona embodiment) and accompanied by a taxonomy and research agenda for pluralistic human-AI interaction.
Why it mattersProposes a concrete design alternative to the dominant single-chatbot paradigm, importing game design and participatory simulation techniques rarely applied to AI interface research.
