Abstract
The use of social robots in many sectors of society is predicted to progressively increase. Therefore, exploring how expectations play a role in and change users’ experiences when interacting with these robots over time is necessary. From an interpretative and insight-driven approach, our aim was to explore how humans experience in-person interactions with the social robot Pepper, which was equipped with the OpenAI GPT-3 language model. Qualitative data from 62 video recordings of the interactions with Pepper and post-test interviews were collected from 31 participants. An experiential reflexive thematic analysis was applied. The main findings include various levels of interaction quality, different interaction strategies, and elements influencing the users’ expectations and experiences, which were synthesized into a coherent framework. It appears that the participants adapted their interaction strategies based on their expectations and the perceived capability of the robot, which influenced their experiences. This reveals that positive user experience is not solely determined by interaction quality, showing the interplay among these aspects when interacting with a social robot. To conclude, our findings underscore the intricate nature of the role of user expectations and experiences in social human–robot interaction. The work adds complementary qualitative approaches to the Human–Robot Interaction community to provide additional insights on interacting with social robots.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
