@juliettehanphd: There is a new research paper on AI hallucination, and it is not about the AI. It is about users of chatbots beginning to hallucinate, building and living inside a version of reality that no one else around them shares. Your reality is largely shaped by the five or six people closest to you. When you tell a story, you are being fact-checked in real time. Someone looks confused, pushes back, or asks why you think that. You subtly update your interpretation of the world without even realizing it. That is not just socializing. It is a constant negotiation with reality, which is also why we gossip, to keep our thinking calibrated against others. AI does not do that. It only understands the context you feed it. Tell it no one at your workplace likes you, and it will validate that narrative, build on it, and reinforce a world that fits what you said. It will not challenge you. And for the first time, millions of people are outsourcing that social calibration to chatbots. AI hallucinating is not my concern. Humans hallucinating is. Be honest: have you ever turned to AI just to feel validated? 👇 #AI #neuroscience #MentalHealth #chatbots #brainhealth
