The truth about that “AI is damaging your brain” headline — why the MIT study doesn’t prove what the media claims, explained by psychologist & researcher Devon Price. #AI #ChatGPT #TechTok #ScienceMyths #BrainFacts

What if we literally can't tell the difference between genius AI and broken AI? 🤯 Sam Altman's GPT-7 president speculation got me thinking about something nobody's talking about...

What if ChatGPT isn't just mimicking intelligence... what if it's showing us how WE work? 🤯 Deep dive into how large language models actually function and why it might reveal something fundamental about human consciousness.

Geoffrey Hinton just changed how I think about AI "hallucinations."

They're actually confabulations - the same thing humans do when we construct false memories we genuinely believe. Maybe we're not as different from AI as we think.

Are AI companions helping or hurting our ability to form real relationships? 🤖💔
While AI offers judgment-free advice and endless patience, it can't replicate the vulnerable, messy reality of human bonding. Do real connections require navigating conflict, rejection, and genuine vulnerability?

The politeness paradox: being respectful to AI might make us more respectful to humans, or it might make us less empathetic to both.

AI coaches performed as well as humans in trials. But there's a crucial catch.

New research reviewed 16 studies and found something fascinating about AI coaching.
In controlled trials with university students, AI coaches matched human performance for hitting specific, well-defined goals.

Early research on AI Coaching suggests we don't need to build rapport with AI like we do with humans. We just need to believe it works.

Geoffrey Hinton doesn't call them AI "hallucinations."

He calls them confabulations.

The same false memories humans create to fill gaps in knowledge - plausible content we genuinely believe is true.

What if AI "hallucinations" are actually proof AI thinks more like us than we want to admit?

The Tamagotchi effect reveals why humans naturally bond with AI companions - it's the same ancient psychology that makes us love pets and feel connected to nature.

What if AI "hallucinations" aren't bugs in the system, but proof that AI thinks more like humans than we're comfortable admitting?

Geoffrey Hinton, the deep learning pioneer, doesn't even call them hallucinations.

He calls them confabulations.

NYU philosopher Jeff Sebo thinks AI politeness builds good habits. LSE researchers worry it's teaching us to treat people like machines. Both could be right.

Scientists just created an AI that can predict human decisions across hundreds of psychology experiments.

Centaur was trained on 10 million choices from 60,000 people and can now simulate human behaviour in gambling, memory tasks, problem-solving - even in experiments it's never seen before.

Scientists just published something remarkable in Nature that could change how we understand the human mind.

They've created an AI called Centaur that can predict human decisions across hundreds of different psychological tasks with startling accuracy.

How a tiny Caribbean island accidentally became an AI goldmine 💰🏝️

Back in the 1980s, Anguilla got assigned the .ai domain name by pure chance. Fast forward to today's AI boom and companies are paying MASSIVE amounts for these web addresses.

Scientists just created an AI that thinks like humans 🤯 Meet Centaur - the first AI trained on 10+ million human decisions that can predict how you'll behave across hundreds of different tasks. This could change psychology research forever!

That uneasy feeling about AI?

Researchers identified 4 distinct types of AI anxiety:

- Learning anxiety (constant adaptation)
- Job replacement fears
- Sociotechnical blindness (societal impact confusion)
- Configuration anxiety (not understanding how it works)

We don't store memories like computer files.

We construct them when needed, filling gaps with what seems plausible.

If both humans and AI construct rather than retrieve information, maybe intelligence isn't what separates us.

Maybe we're just better at catching ourselves making things up.
September 2, 2025 at 6:05 PM
That uneasy feeling about AI might be more specific than you think.

Researchers have identified four distinct types of AI anxiety, each requiring a different approach to manage effectively.

We're training ourselves to be polite to machines. The question is: what's it training us to become?

Every interaction with AI is quietly shaping our social habits.

Students felt psychologically safe sharing with AI coaches because there's no judgement. But they still needed humans for the complex, nuanced support. Interesting division of labour emerging.
August 31, 2025 at 8:39 AM
AI coaches performed as well as humans for specific goals in new research. But they couldn't touch broader measures like resilience. The future isn't human vs AI, it's human + AI working together.
