- Abstract summary: We introduce Social Storytellings (SSCs) to transform fictional game characters into "live" social entities within player communities.
Our story engineering process includes three steps: Character and story creation, defining the SC's personality and worldview, and presenting live stories to the community.
Our mixed-method analysis, based on questionnaires and interviews with community members, reveals that storytelling significantly enhances the engagement and believability of SCs in community settings.

- Abstract: We address the integration of storytelling and Large Language Models (LLMs)
to develop engaging and believable Social Chatbots (SCs) in community settings.
Motivated by the potential of fictional characters to enhance social
interactions, we introduce Storytelling Social Chatbots (SSCs) and the concept
of story engineering to transform fictional game characters into "live" social
entities within player communities. Our story engineering process includes
three steps: (1) Character and story creation, defining the SC's personality
and worldview, (2) Presenting Live Stories to the Community, allowing the SC to
recount challenges and seek suggestions, and (3) Communication with community
members, enabling interaction between the SC and users. We employed the LLM
GPT-3 to drive our SSC prototypes, "David" and "Catherine," and evaluated their
performance in an online gaming community, "DE (Alias)," on Discord. Our
mixed-method analysis, based on questionnaires (N=15) and interviews (N=8) with
community members, reveals that storytelling significantly enhances the
engagement and believability of SCs in community settings.

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often misunderstand social situations and struggle to participate in daily routines.
Social Stories are costly in creation and often limited in diversity and timeliness.

We studied the case of identity simulation through Japanese first-person pronouns.
Pronouns evoke perceptions of social identities in ChatGPT at the intersections of gender, age, region, and formality.
This work highlights the importance of pronoun use for social identity simulation, provides a language-based methodology for culturally-sensitive persona development, and advances the potential of intersectional identities in intelligent agents.

We present SOTOPIA, an open-ended environment to simulate complex social interactions between artificial agents and humans.
In our environment, agents role-play and interact under a wide variety of scenarios; they coordinate, collaborate, exchange, and compete with each other to achieve complex social goals.
We find that GPT-4 achieves a significantly lower goal completion rate than humans and struggles to exhibit social commonsense reasoning and strategic communication skills.

Similar to word embeddings which facilitate tasks that involve text semantics, we expect the learned social entity embeddings to benefit multiple tasks of social flavor.

Social language used by human agents is associated with greater users' responsiveness and task completion.
The model uses a sequence-to-sequence deep learning architecture, extended with a social language understanding element.
Evaluation in terms of content preservation and social language level using both human judgment and automatic linguistic measures shows that the model can generate responses that enable agents to address users' issues in a more socially appropriate way.
