To consider the impact, they had 800 participants interact with an AI about a real conflict from their lives. Those who'd interacted with an affirming AI were 25% more convinced they were right and 10% less willing to do something to fix the situation. Stanford University Computer Science PhD student, My Richang, says that companies and
