The researchers proposed an “amplification spiral” in which chatbots mirror a user’s language, generate increasingly personalized responses, and validate unsupported beliefs instead of challenging them.

I find it weirdly fascinating that people do not seem to realize the simple fact that so-called AI is based on human input, both in the moment and through the data it was fed.

But I bet some will start demanding external "senses" for AI and possibly even agency (partly already happening with agentic stuff).
